'Spring Tide - Gulf Islands'

A beautiful spot at anytime, Saltspring Island's Burgoyne

Bay is stunning on a sunny morning in late

May which often co-insides with a spring tide.

These tides are those which fall during the full moon or

new moon phases and are noted for the very

extreme high-highs and low-lows of tide levels.

At these times the earth, sun and moon alien

to produce maximum force of gravity creating

those extremes in tide levels.

Also my favourite time to paint seashore scenes.

'September Glow',(Arbutus, Vancouver Island, Thetis Lake)

More of that lovely September light with this piece.

Some of our native Arbutus trees back lit with

warm afternoon sun. The Arbutus is another of

our trees that is found only in very few places

in the world. A broadleaved evergreen, they take on

very unusual growth patterns of twisting trunks,

not unlike Garry oaks in that. The smooth trunks

shed their bark in curling flakes yearly, turning

from a russet red-orange to a creamy yellow-green.

Sometime in August if you happen to be near

one on a real hot day you can hear the bark crackle

as it splits and peels away from the main trunk.

They produce lovely panicles of creamy white

flowers in late spring, so profusely at times

that the glossy dark green leaves are almost

hidden. They will be followed later

by clusters of red berries.

Oil on canvas 9 x 12.

Arbutus Trail

Glorious arbutus trees are an unique feature

of coastal south western BC. Their colourful twisting

form provides animation to the landscape

like no other tree does.

This trail winds its way above the Gorge Waterway

and has a very magical feel.

There be spirits here.
