'October Sun - Swan Lake'

 

The October sun's warmth feels like a stranger
This short respite from the rain and wind
Sharing this lull with the Towhee's and Jay's
Their warning calls as the Cooper's
Glides low over our heads
Hunting with all the avian activity below it
I make a new memory with each blink
Breathing it in along with the scent of
Damp leaves and dead grass and the warmth...

'October Oaks - Highrock'

As we await another wind and rain storm here

on southern Vancouver Island, it is a bit

of a treat to look back at some recent

plein airs. When thoughts of wind and of heavy rain

seemed distant and remote on such a beautiful

early fall afternoon up on Highrock.

'Under A Full Hunter's Moon'

Another one from Highrock and one that has

been in the works for awhile but

waiting for that moment when

inspiration and uhuh came together.

It being Thanksgiving it is appropriate

to reflect on those things large and small

that have made us thankful. 

Though I have many things in my life

I am thankful for, having had the 

opportunity to paint the many little

spots in this little natural wonder is high on the list.

Of course being with Linny on many of

those occasions and together seeing

the flocks and singular birds that stop there

for a short time during migration

before moving on is certainly another.

~~~~~~

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

'Peninsula Harvest'

This past Friday morning was the type

of fall morning we plein air painters long for.

Out on the Saanich Peninsula the pumpkin

harvest is in full swing and cabbages not

far behind them. Hope to get

out painting quite a bit while this

weather holds...
