'Morning Pastels'


I painted this piece early last spring from
a small cove not far from my studio.
Just as I was getting close to finishing

'West Coast Afternoon'


Along the west coast of Vancouver Island
the power and force of the Pacific
comes to shore.

more often it roars into the rocky
shoreline that bars it from advancing further.
Often it is a scene of muted greys,
but when the sun breaks free it
vibrates with fresh and startling colour.
