Not the $1,667,500 Lawren Harris sketchWatercolour and oil pastel©2014 Charlene Brown
This painting is based on photos of Mt.
Lefroy taken from the same direction, but at a slightly higher elevation than
an iconic 1930 Harris painting. A sketch for this painting recently sold for
1,667,500 CAD – yes, a sketch!
Mt. Lefroy looks quite different from
this angle than in the much more famous view of the northeast face of Lefroy
and Victoria Glacier framing Lake Louise.
I’m going to paint this ‘straight-up Lake Louise’ view next.
