The Art of Keith Prestone: A Masterpiece of Nature and Technology
Keith Prestone, a talented artist from Quesnel, has made a name for himself in the art world with his breathtaking series of acrylic paintings, “Bowron Lake Chain.” This stunning collection of artworks is not only a testament to Prestone’s skill as an artist but also a remarkable example of how technology and traditional media can come together to create something truly unique.
The Inspiration Behind the Series
Prestone’s inspiration for the series came from his love of nature and his desire to capture the beauty of the Bowron Lake Chain in a new and innovative way. The chain of lakes is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, and Prestone wanted to create a series of artworks that would not only showcase its natural beauty but also highlight the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem.
The Artistic Process
The artistic process behind Prestone’s series was a labor of love that involved a combination of traditional media and digital tools. Prestone began by creating a series of digital overlays of the topography and watershed of the Bowron Lake Chain. These overlays were created using a combination of software and traditional media, including paint and ink.
