View from Raven Hill

Last Friday I painted at a little farm that sits

on the south slope above Mount Newton Crossroads

out on the Saanich Pennisula. This is the view

looking back toward Victoria to the south.

Raven Hill Herb Farm produces wonderful array

of herbs and gave our band of pleinairists free

range for a morning paint.

Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

Summer Sanctuary

This piece is one of a group of larger canvases
 that I have been working on for awhile now.

As you can tell from the title 
it is a very special place in my world. 
A place where one can, for a short time,

let life's problems drift away 
as my consciousness melds with the scents 
and sounds of the forest.

The cool water washes over you and your spirit

lifts as you scan the surrounding hills

and the sky above. Once again I marvel

at the wonder of our natural world and sense

the spirits that surely inhabit this place.

Morning Sky-Esquimalt Lagoon

Hello everyone,

Well life is settling down a little bit and I'm finally

getting this piece posted that was painted a couple

of weeks ago now. A friend and I met out at the mouth of

Esquimalt Lagoon that morning and were somewhat

surprised by a dramatic change of weather. We went from

hot and sunny and sunscreen to grabbing our jackets

and hanging on to our easels while trying to paint fast.

All told we spent about two hours and finished with

hot weather once again!!

I hope to be posting more regularly

in the days to come.

(I think the title needs a little work!)

Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

Comments are always appreciated and hoped for.

I did this piece a couple of weeks ago from

Mount Tolmie looking to the south west and the

Sooke Hills. Wonderful clouds were building which

was what really caught my attention.
