Had a minor epiphany about the value of art, and I wrote about it over on Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/sophiegraine/p/on-why-art-is-important20 Apr 2026 04:01 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjvlhlrpbk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3mircl3zfjc2wIn case you like to look at art supplies as much as I do! https://open.substack.com/pub/sophiegraine/p/whats-in-my-travel-sketch-kit05 Apr 2026 17:46 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mircl3zfjc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3mbqbhzmzwcugAcrylic in an Uglybooks sketchbook. On thin paper like this I get more free and playful, there is less pressure. And watching the image emerge from dark paper is satisfying. This place was a long hike from the road (20 km) but so worth it. Such perfect weather that weekend. 06 Jan 2026 05:58 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbqbhzmzwcughttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3mbnkfbx7gbw2This view is on the way home from Jasper, in that season when there isn’t enough snow yet for skiing, and the days end early. 18x24.

I wrote a post about it on Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/sophiegraine/p/whats-your-trampoline?r=37aewy&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay04 Jan 2026 19:31 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbmnz2kbuc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3m2gb5j6d3ymnI’ll be joining some very talented local artists like Courtney for a pre-holiday art market, Saturday November 8 at Orange Hall (between the Strathcona Farmers Market and the Library).

This was a special moment waking up at a campsite near Nordegg. That time of year when the sun seems to get up later and later each day. #yegarts #edmonton #mountains #nordegg #alberta04 Oct 2025 04:15 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2dpv7cyzyp3https://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lyvvu3zml5bgGlenbow Ranch. Acrylic on brown paper, 8x10. Ready for the Cadmium Art Collective show on Nov 8!

The light was dramatically filtering through the trees. 30x30, acrylic on birch panel. #canadianart #edmonton #cadmiumartcollective 14 Sep 2025 00:22 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyqzlcagpv4zhttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lxbe32zdbuwpHiked my painting gear the 22 km into the Fryatt Valley over the weekend. What a beautiful spot. Frosty overnight, hot days, and cloudless skies - a rare treat in the Canadian Rockies. #pleinair #landscapepainting #albertaart26 Aug 2025 01:22 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxbe32zdbuwphttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lwmfrvzecwvtA little preview of the painting I’m working on - a 30x30 from a spring ski trip. #edmonton #yegarts #cadmiumartcollective #landscapepainting #canadianart17 Aug 2025 17:27 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwmfrvzecwvthttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lw7kzicxcjkdPart of my ongoing effort to improve my painting skills! For the last few days I’ve been waking up at 6 am to do these little copies of paintings I like.12 Aug 2025 14:56 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lw7kzicxcjkdhttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lvvnnmbyackeI biked across town to paint, then panicked about an approaching storm and biked home. But at least I made this backyard painting of the clouds. I love this SMLT brown paper so much, colours pop on it! #pleinair #landscapepainting #clouds 08 Aug 2025 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvvnnmbyackehttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lvmto4sflp4iHere are some of the paintings from the Yoho trip! All painted on location. One of these was made in 14 minutes (yes, I timed it 😂) while everyone else was having lunch. #pleinair #yoho #canadianart #landscape #mountains 05 Aug 2025 04:10 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvmto4sflp4ihttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lvmtifummj4iHiked my painting equipment into the 10 km into beautiful Stanley Mitchell hut, and was it ever worth it!

I made a painting!” 😁 The sky really was that blue. Gorgeous day - warm, breezy, and no biting insects - the kind of day plein air dreams are made of. These outdoor paintings are an important part of my practice - they help me understand how light and colour work out there on location.28 Jul 2025 04:14 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3luyq4uw67k4khttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3luypwy7z2mk3Setting up for painting in the mountains! #landscapepainting #pleinair 28 Jul 2025 04:10 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3luypwy7z2mk3https://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lud7sd6cgj5nMy friends HATE this print! “It looks like grandma’s embroidery.” Joke’s on them. Grandmas are cool. I made this design one icy winter day. I walked into a flower shop and my heart filled at the sight of the bright blooms and earthy smell. Finished painting the edition of 25 this morning.19 Jul 2025 14:55 +0000at://did:plc:5pgas2nvw3erdfsj2tt75cpn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lud7sd6cgj5nhttps://bsky.app/profile/sophiegraine.bsky.social/post/3lu2fhrwi2wv4Beautiful day at the Whyte Ave Art Walk this past Sunday.
