'Last Light Botany Bay'

"The quiet is broken only by the small waves being pushed

ashore by the incoming tide.

You can sense something deeper in the cool stillness.

Soon the coming dusk will envelope the world

where you stand looking...and listening.

Yet you delay leaving,

though the trail back is long and growing ever darker.

Then, raven's call disturbs your reverie

and reluctantly you turn away from the sea 

and head for the trail."

series of larger paintings featuring west coast

ocean shoreline scenes.

'Botany Bay Magic' **SOLD** Canadian west coast Impressionism, Port Renfrew BC, Botanical Beach oil painting

I painted at Botany Bay on Saturday which is part of

Botanical Beach park just outside the west coast town

of Port Renfrew. From here the open Pacific can be seen,

the entrance to the strait Juan de Fuca and Washington's

Cape Flattery. Although the day could not have been

better, with clear sunny skies and shirtsleeve temperatures

out of the wind, the power of the Pacific was quite evident

when the huge swells rolled in and broke roaring on to the

jagged shale shoreline. An incredible magical day.

A return trip is in the works!

Oil on wood panel 9 x 12.
