My Hero

Wood and Stain 9.5" x 9.5" (24.13cm x 24.13cm)

My friend Phil and I went on a kayak adventure form Castle Junction to Banff on a 45 km journey in August of 2021. beautiful as it may seem when looking at Bow River from Highway 1 but paddling the river presented the most unforgettable experience, not only the scene was outstanding but the river unbeknownst to us has danger lurking around it. The danger lies where branches of rivers converges into the main and creating a whirlpool and sweepers in many areas as well as fallen down tree like skewers. The mishap happens when I was pulled under one of the sweepers and logjams, capsized my kayak and lost my paddle. It was a close call to put it mildly but Phil rescued me and saved the day. I made this piece similar to the one I gave him as a token of appreciation.
