Watercolour and crayon

Unlike many of the
spectacular locations in British Columbia, this is a ‘part less painted,’
giving it a fascination similar to Robert Frost’s ‘road less traveled.’ I’m thinking of combining this painting with other
blog posts about spectacular parts of BC that are less often painted until I have enough for a book. This could
include the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed, Hot Springs Cove, the Burgess Shale, and The Towers.
Besides being ‘less
painted’ this very recently-discovered and not yet named cave has the distinction of being much
less even seen, despite having the huge entrance pit shown in the painting. And BC Parks is planning to
keep it that way, with fines of up to a million dollars a day for anyone
venturing into the area, located in a remote part of Wells Gray Provincial
Park.
