"...Darrell Chocolate spotted the vista he wanted to put onto a canvas while out taking photos around Old Town in the fall.

"The sun was just starting to rise up, you could see the clear sky. It was a bit of a brisk wind that morning and you can see it in the waves in the painting. The background you can see the fall leaves, the orange, yellow leaves and in the foreground you can see the pine trees," he says. "That kind of captured my eye to put it on a painting."

He finished 'Serene Fall Season' two weeks before the submission deadline for a NorthwesTel contest where the winner would be featured on all of the NWT's phone books. With his busy life – raising five children and working as a mill operator at the Ekati Diamond Mine – Chocolate says he forgot about the submission until he got the call that he had won...."
