Winter Oak

Bright afternoon sunlight on a snowy oak meadow

is always a dazzling sight. The subtle shades

of colour seem so much more vivid. It

is sometimes difficult to keep ones

palette under control.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Winter Trail

The transformation that a blanket of snow

makes on the landscape is really quite

phenomenal. It is a joy to paint and

something I look forward to every year.

This years heavy snow is quite a treat

as we don't always get snow

here in Victoria.

Oil on canvas 24 x 20.

'Winter Solstice' **SOLD**

I'm still on the snow paintings. Hard not to when you

wake up in a Lawren Harris painting every morning.

We will likely have a white Christmas this year on

the south end of Vancouver Island for the

first time in many years. It really is very

beautiful here right now in Victoria.

A snowy winter wonderland.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Winter Apples

Right now in Victoria we are experiencing some

pretty extreme winter weather for our area.

Apples that are still left on the tree provide a very

important food source for many species of birds during

these nasty weather events.

This piece was painted from a photo I took after a

heavy November snowfall in 2006.

Oil on canvas 16 x 16.

Spring Afternoon-Thetis Island

This piece was painted in the studio from a

photo I took while on a trip to Thetis Island

several years ago. We were there during

the spring minus tides depicted in this painting.

A time in which the mystery of the

shoreline is briefly revealed.

Oil on canvas 24 x 24.

High Rock Oak

I painted this piece last week on a crisp clear morning

up on Highrock Park. I was there with three

other artists who are plein air enthusiasts.

It is always amazing to see what everyone comes

up with after a couple hours of painting.

the Round House

Like small isolated railways everywhere,

Vancouver Islands E & N has seen better days.

Reduced now to one dayliner service a day there

has been a movement to upgrade the line and

run commuter rail service. I wanted to get this

painting done and plan a few more as much of this

site is slated for redevelopment in the near future.

The weather held for a few hours today while I

completed this painting en plein air.

BTW there really wasn't any snow =;-))

December Morning-Beacon Hill

On Friday a group of outsiders were greeted with a

wonderful show of colour on what would have been a fairly

bleak December morning. Bands of orange and pink low over

the Olympic Mountains attracted the interest of many in

our small band of hardy plein air painters.

Victoria's historic Beacon Hill Park provides

plein air enthusiasts with an endless variety

of painting opportunities year round.

Oil on board 11 x 14.

Changing Weather

A friend and I painted at Cattle Point yesterday,

gambling with the weather. Thankfully the rain

held off and the skies began to clear

just as we were finishing up.

Our native willows are one of the last trees to

lose their leaves and many are still showing

that lovely yellow orange.

December Afternoon-Plumper Bay

A warm sunny afternoon in December and the time to

get out and paint...how great is that. The temperature

hit 13C which is about 60F...niiiice!

The rapidly moving clouds presented quite a

challenge and by the time an hour had gone by large

looming dark clouds had moved in and

it was time to skedaddle!

This is another view of part of Esquimalt Harbour.

Oil on board 6 x 8.

Clear Breaks

Clear breaks come in many forms, on this day they

were quite small and limited. Overcast and threatening

one minute and breaks of sun in the next. It was the

showers that made it tough! This is another one

from Highrock Park. (my 100 paintings park)

A friend and I painted here last Thurs.

Most of this piece was done out there

some fine tuning was done in here.

Oil on board 8 x 10.
