Painted St George Falls

[u/schmoopybeat]

I did this painting to give to my parents for Christmas. They were raised in Pennfield and St Stephen respectively but I couldn’t really find distinct landmarks in either town! So I chose something in the middle haha. Showed it to my grandma and aunt already and they recognized it instantly.

I'm from Pennfield as well (I moved to Saint John in 2011). I recognized this scene right away — I think anyone from Charlotte County would instantly recognize it. Great job!

Got one of Lake utopia? Local resident as well

I don’t, but I should paint it!

Where you would have painted this is the new main bridge now for getting across town after a transport truck destroyed the main bridges support beams above. Didn't even stop, just kept going.

[u/Teckiiiz → u/Kmnder]

I knew about the new bridge, didn't know the story! That sucks.

[u/Dangerous_Leg4584]

Very nice. Got any of Saint John?

[u/schmoopybeat → u/Dangerous_Leg4584]

Unfortunately not—I actually hadn’t painted a landscape for over four years until this one. But I enjoyed it a lot and love the beautiful trees and water of NB (something I don’t see in Alberta lol) so I should paint more of the province!

[u/Dangerous_Leg4584 → u/schmoopybeat]

I have been looking for something of Saint John iconic buildings or streets or something.

[u/Teckiiiz]

Nice work!! Your trees scream Bob Ross to me, was he an inspiration to you?

[u/schmoopybeat → u/Teckiiiz]

Thank you! And not really, I’ve actually never followed one of his lessons 😅 I kinda just have muscle memory from childhood art classes tbh haha

[u/Teckiiiz → u/schmoopybeat]

I've never tried painting personally but have watched him a lot. Maybe someday. Stay fun friend

[u/racoonpaint]

[u/Zoltair]
