Singing Pass Trail by Andrew Smith Andrew Smith has been painting in Whistler since 1994. While hiking, biking or skiing, he is constantly inspired by the magnificent landscapes, lighting and seasonal changes in the mountains. His works are mainly acrylic on canvas and depict the natural beauty of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor. When he is not painting or designing websites he shoots photography and video, and thoroughly enjoys life with his wife and cat on the West Coast. This painting entitled Singing Pass Trail captures a small pond’s reflection while on a hike to Russet Lake. www.somenice.com
