Afternoon Clouds-Esquimalt Harbour

Drifting clouds casting shadows on a sunlit afternoon

is a cherished memory to contemplate on

a cool overcast day in February.

I guess those teachers and adult figures in my

past who mentioned so often that

"I had my head in the clouds",

may have been right after all!

Oil on canvas 12 x 9.

Comments are always welcomed.

(Sir Thomas More)

Passing Storm

This painting was worked up from a small one that I

painted several months ago. One of Victoria's

important light stations it sits about three miles to the

north of Victoria's inner harbour. Trial Island light has

been guarding the approach to both Oak Bay and

Victoria for many years and has been instrumental

to navigation and saving the lives of many mariners

in the often rough seas it surveys.

Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

Your comments are always a pleasure.

but write the good things that happen to you

on a piece of marble."

(Arabian wisdom)

Spring in the Oaks

In these very difficult times it can be extremely

challenging for many of us to keep a positive

outlook. Keep in mind that all this negative

energy that surrounds us at this moment will

pass, it will be very painful for many of us,

but it will at some point in the future be a

bad memory. As they say in the song,

"nothin' stays wrong for long..."

On the other hand spring will come just as

it always does the air will warm, you will feel the

suns warmth on your face, in many places

wild flowers will once again bloom, trees will

blossom and if we take the time to notice,

this miracle can fill our hearts with joy.

When things get tough take the time to find

a quite place with a large tree, lean your back

against its trunk and close your eyes, let the

strumming of its life force vibrate your soul

and calm your spirit.

Oil on canvas 14 x11.

all things which you see,

and out of their substance will make other things

and again other things...

in order that the world may be ever new."
