November Lowlands

This was painted last November just as the last

of the colour was about to be blown free 

by the fall winds.

One of the many wonderful things about 

painting plein air is how immediately you

find yourself standing in the spot you painted, 

the moment you look at your painting. 

No matter how long ago that might be...

A beautiful morning in the ancient lands 

of Scia'new (''the place of the big fish,") today...

The Scia'new First Nations trace their ancestry 

to people who spoke four different languages. 

The community recognizes all four languages 

although they are not all currently spoken. 

The predominant language is now Hul’q’umi’num

It is for me the the most preciously beautiful

of all the areas in the south Island.

I have spent many hours and days

salmon fishing in these waters,

but it will never be as

often as I wished...

This past November we had some very high

tides during the day. When combined with

some gusty winds and partially clearing

skies provided some amazing

reference shots for some

sheltered studio work...

'NIGHT WISHES'
When you look way up at the stars
Shining on a winters night
The brightest ones always are
Those that have been wished on
That's why they burn so bright
So when you gaze up at the stars
Maybe even tonight
Remember the brightest that you see
May be because of you or me
