I happened to be in ski country – although not in an area as challenging as Panorama, B.C., where Jon Howlett paints – when I thought of this transplanted British artist’s work. His hyper-realistic acrylics wonderfully capture the magic of the ski hill, as well as the mountain landscapes of British Columbia. (Above: Fresh Tracks)

I see faces in several of those … is it just me? Very nice.

Nope, not just you. And if you look at his full portfolio, you’ll see he does it on a grander scale from time to time, sort of mystically. Good catch!
