Morning Light-Saanich

This piece was painted last week on one of

those special spring mornings when that smell

of spring cottonwoods sweetens every breath you take.

The sounds and flight of birds fill the air and compete

with the quiet stillness of the rural countryside.

It was a grand day painting with three

buddies, plein air painters all!

Oil on canvas 20 x 16.

Saanich Spring

This piece was done early last week on a beautiful

spring day on the Saanich Peninsula. The shadows

being cast by the drifting clouds are what

really caught my eye in this scene.

Oil on board 11 x 14.

Comments welcome!

Spring Morning-Beacon Hill

 
The naturalized daffodils and the many wildflowers are

blooming now in Victoria's Beacon Hill Park.

I painted with a group of outsiders there this morning.

This sky represents the one that I witnessed on

my mornings walk, however it had clouded over by

the time I was painting. But reality can be a

relative thing when one puts brush to canvas...

Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

Mount Work Tapestry

I got up on the top of Highrock just in time to paint

these clouds as the heavy overcast began to

break up and form wonderful patterns

over distant Mount Work.

Oil on wood panel 9 x 12.

Comments always appreciated.

Gillingham Islands-Saxe Point

 
The Gillingham Islands are
 a small group of rock islets

that lie off the southeast side of 
Saxe Point and

are a main feature in the views from this

park in lovely Esquimalt.

They are a popular diving and
 fishing location here,

and by the amount of interest 
shown to them by our group of outsiders 

Friday morning they are very popular
among plein air painters as well.

Another attempt for me to try and capture 
the subtle light and colour
 present on a cloudy morning

on the shore of Juan de Fuca Strait.

Oil on wood panel 
9 x 12.

Comments welcomed and encouraged!

Highrock Light

This piece was painted en plein air last Thursday

during a lovely break in the weather.

I tried to capture that special quality of light that

happens at this time of year when the air still carries

lots of moisture. As well, I used a limited palette.

Oil on canvas 9 x 12.

As always, your comments are most welcome!

Mount Doug Clouds

Several weeks ago I was able to photograph some

spectacular cloud formations from the top of Mount

Tolmie. These clouds where the type we seldom

see here in Victoria. They are the sort I have seen

painted of the skies in places such as New Mexico.

Huge towering formations rolling across the sky

changing rapidly as they past. When I got back to

the studio I was able to take more photo's of them

now filled with colours from the sun setting behind me.

From these photo's I hope to do a large series of

paintings, this being the first.

Oil on board 6 x 8.

Comments always appreciated!
