'Winter Gale'

*Happy New Year Everyone!*

I painted this piece from the protection of the

cab of my truck yesterday, using my homemade

lap box that I put together with this in mind.

 It was blowin' 35 kmh gusting to 50

and the wind surfers were in their glory!

Rain squalls, then sunshine with rainbows then

back again all within minutes so paint fast

boyo! It was cold in the truck and the gust

buffeting my rolling studio made a steady hand

an illusion at best.

If this truck is rockin' don't... =:-/

The view from my studio window this morning.

More weather on the way...

'First Snow'

The delight of late afternoon sunlight on

the first snowfall of the season.

It is truly a wonderful world

and oh so very precious.

Oil on canvas 30 x 48

Well it looks like Victoria, like many other areas, will have

a 'green' Christmas this year (not unusual for my neck

of the woods). So I thought I would post a real West Coast

scene for this years Christmas post.

Thanks everyone for all your support and encouragement

throughout this year. It would really have

been tough without it.

Wishing you all love, peace & joy.

It's all we really need...

'Highrock Rhythms'

'Highrock Rhythms' oil on canvas 30 x 40

This painting was inspired by an earlier plein air piece

that was sold a couple of years ago. I enlarged the

format and changed the season among other things.

I have included an image of the original below

for comparison. Naturally the huge size deferential

may be hard to imagine in this posting.

(9 x 12 up to a 30 x 40) 

'August Sky - Highrock' oil on wood panel 9 x 12

Not sure if the transition worked but I think

I'm happy with it so far...

I would like to draw your attention to an new
artist on my artist link list.
Caroline Simmill from the wilds of the
Scottish moorlands. Amazing atmospheric landscapes.

'Golden November'

About two years ago I painted a plein air piece that

I used as reference to paint this one.

I have always been enthralled with the drama of

a sunlight landscape against a dark sky.

Perhaps a series is in the offing...
