Based on a trip to Lake Louise, Banff, Alberta, I wanted to create something like a picture-esque visage which will allow the viewer to imagine themselves in the painting. With the mountains some distance away, I hope that the viewer will be able to see how great these mountains are compared to the figure in the foreground.
