'The Gallery'

Last Wednesday I was part of an evening

'paint - in' at the The Gallery in the

Oak Bay Village, which is one of the galleries

currently representing my work. Both myself

and well know local artist Linny D. Vine

took part in the evenings event.

The event was part of the larger

Oak Bay Village Summer Night Market,

as well it was the opening night of

Linny's show 'Life Is Good'

'Afternoon Friendly'

One of the many beautiful spots here on the south end

of Vancouver Island this view is from Moses Point.

While painting here one late afternoon a couple of weeks

ago these sail boats came by on a freshening wind.

They seemed to be having a friendly race.

Due to the rising tide I was forced to finish quickly.

'First Light on the Salish Sea'

Last Friday morning I painted with a group of outsiders

at the historic Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Light.

It was a glorious morning and I was there quite early.

There is, as I have mentioned in past postings, much

history at this site. This was the very first light station on

Canada's west coast and is situated at the entrance

to Esquimalt Harbour and the Naval Station.

'Raked & Ready'

This piece was painted on a warm evening in early

July. These fields had been cut and raked for baling

the next day. I had been keeping a close watch on these

fields hoping to be there when they were being hayed.

I was lucky this year, as well, I was able to paint another

piece earlier in the afternoon at another location

while the tractor was mowing and filling the air with

that sweet scent of fresh cut hay.

'Evening Westerlies'

This is a local spot within site of my studio that I

have painted many times in the past. In June this year

early one evening the west wind really came up and

I went down and took a bunch of reference photos,

some of which I used for this painting.

I hope to do a large canvas of this scene soon.

This painting will be one of a group of my paintings

featured in an evening event at

The Gallery

in the Oak Bay Village

2223A oak Bay Ave.

250 598-9890

on Wednesday Aug. 18th

3PM - 8PM

I will be there painting that evening.

If you are in the area I hope you can make it out

to see some of my work.

'Smoky Dawn-Mount Tolmie'

I painted on Mount Tolmie's north slope Friday

morning and as the title suggests the smoke from the

many fires many hundreds of miles away in the interior

regions of BC was once again present in the air. Though it

makes for an interesting sky colour, forest fires are a nasty

reality where ever forests are part of the landscape.

My eyes have been very sore by days end for a week or so

it is much worse for folks elsewhere.

'Cowichan Shore'

As I mentioned in my last post I came back from

Cowichan Lake with two paintings. This study of

overhanging backlit Alder limbs with that summer

sparkling water was the first of the day. It was perhaps

a little complex for the first one and me

standing on a secluded natural beach with that cool

clear Cowichan Lake water lapping at the stony shore,

and me not even having my first swim yet...yikes!

'View from Waxwing Point'

Last week I made a day trip up to Cowichan Lake about

an hour and a half north west of Victoria. I must say

it was a stellar day, warm and very quiet, almost like

we had the lake to ourselves. We spent the day at a spot

about 15 minute boat ride from the launch ramp I call

Waxwing Point, mainly because I have never been there

and not had many beautiful Cedar Waxwings

feeding and flying about. The views from the point

as well back in the trees along the creek bank offer

many painting opportunities, this piece was one

of two I did that day. Ah, painting, birding

and lake swimming, can it be better than that?
