Lookout Point Cypress Hills by Sharron Schoenfeld
Acrylic on panel board; measures 11” x 14” of a favourite spot in the Cypress Hills. The ecosystem in the area of the province is so far removed from the desert like landscape that is just over the hill that it feels like a magical spot, a haven from the heat and a breath of fresh air.
You can see for miles when standing at Lookout Point, Cypress Hills Provincial Park. There was so much to see in every direction that it was hard to decide what to paint. This lone tree that overlooked the valley below caught my eye.
