Canmore, Alberta - early oil pastel done in 1959


The recent flooding in Canmore, Calgary and other regions of Alberta brought back vivid memory pictures of the time I spent in the Rocky Mountains, including Banff and Canmore.

Oil Pastel, The Three Sisters, Canmore, Alberta 
by Henri van Bentum, 1959. Private Collection Ainslie Goodman 
via Dr. Wilfred S. Goodman, gift by the artist.

Speaking of pictures, here is an oil pastel I did, Summer 1959 in Canmore, of the Bow River with heads of 
The Three Sisters mountains peaking high above the clouds.
