This was painted yesterday en plein air on Mount Tolmie facing west toward the Malahat. It was our warmest day
this year and lovely to be out.
Although it is a scourge to our environment,
the yellow flowered Scotch broom was in full glory as
were our native purple camas lily's.
I did a few touch ups on this one when I got it back
to the studio (and removed a few insects).
I'm afraid that this image came out a
bit on the dark side...ergh!
Oil on canvas 11 x 14.
Comments always welcomed!

When I saw you nearing the end of your painting up on Mount Tolmie you expressed misgivings about the tonal value of the distant mountain - but having been there myself I can testify that you have it exactly right!
I like this painting. It reminds me of some of my favorite impressionist works. I like your blog too. Would you like to do a link exchange? I’m a fellow artist trying to build my ranking by getting more reciprocal links. You can email me at amaloneyart@gmail.com
Thanks for your insights Ron and encouragement.
