The Grand Hotels

 

As I prepare to start a painting of the Banff Springs Hotel for my spring show at Canada House Gallery in Banff, I realized that since 1995, I have painted the Grand Railroad Hotels 40 times!  In light of this landmark,  this suite of paintings can now be viewed in it's entirety. There is a lovely poignancy to this, as the Banff Springs Hotel is 125 years old this year.  The majority of the paintings are of the Banff Springs, but the Hotel Macdonald, Royal York, Fairmont San Francisco, Jasper Park Lodge, Hotel Vancouver, The Palliser, and Chateau Lake Louise are also represented.
