Step Across | 30" x 40"

About the Artwork

Step Across is an enchanting 30" x 40" acrylic painting by Brent Laycock created on canvas. Inspired by a walk with his grandson through the pristine wilderness of Kananaskis, Alberta, Laycock captures an intimate moment of discovery where a gentle creek winds through a rocky bed, creating natural stepping stones that inspire the painting's evocative title. This captivating work celebrates the intergenerational joy of exploring Alberta's mountain landscapes together, where water flows over smooth river rocks beneath a canopy of towering trees. The composition creates a sense of peaceful adventure, suggesting those precious moments when grandparent and grandchild pause to appreciate nature's quiet rhythms and perhaps dare each other to step across this woodland creek.

The artist's bold, confident brushstrokes bring exceptional texture to every element, from the smooth, water-worn stones rendered in soft greys and purples to the thick impasto of ferns and forest plants that seem to pulse with life. Delicate linear elements of bare branches and forest debris create intricate patterns throughout the composition, while warm touches of coral and pink in the tree trunks add subtle warmth to the predominantly cool palette.
