A Saskatchewan artist had a unique setting for his latest piece.
Andrew Robertson, who is from the small southwestern town of Shaunavon, discovered his skill while working during the pandemic. He uses his social media to showse his work.
He would use his 12-hour long night shifts to hone his craft and is now taking his newfound passion around the world.
“I’ve always loved travelling,” Robertson said. “If I could meld the two, that was the idea.”
Robertson’s first trip abroad to paint took him to Iceland. He said he’s wanted to go since watching the film, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”
His plan was to paint a volcano during eruption, which never happened while he was on the island.
Instead, he found a glacier covered in volcanic ash.
