'September Morning-Gillingham Islands'

Not for the first time, I must say that painting

here on the south end of Vancouver Island 

in the wonderful September light

is one of my most treasured 

times of the year.

This piece was sort of a study done for 

another larger piece and may

continue to be the focus

for still another

painting.

AGGV House Tour 2012

Last Sunday I had the honour of being one of the six

Victoria area artists to be featured in the

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's

"HOUSE TOUR 2012"

This popular annual event has been organized by the

'GALLERY ASSOCIATES' 

since 1953!!!!!!

Special thanks to them, AGGV volunteers (there were many)

the corporate sponsors and all the many hundreds 

of ticket buying visitors and of course

the six home owners that opened their homes

for the event.

I was placed at the wonderful waterfront home on

Gonzales Bay...wow! I have uploaded a few photo's

of my day...

I started out with warm sun at my back lighting

up my subject. That soon changed (several times).

done, cleaned up and ready to pack up...

'Coastal Beauty'

As I sit here languishing in late summer bliss,

here on the south Island we are enjoying some of the

best weather of the year, I feel somewhat of a

grasshopper whiling away the days as 

the cool wet months approach. 

The beauty of the west coast  is never ending

for me. The sensuous grace of the Arbutus trees,

there fox red bark splitting in the August heat.

The newly exposed, smooth, pale green of the new bark 

compels my caress. 

Often situated in the most gravity defying locations their
ancient beauty is mesmerizing.
