AGGV House Tour 2012

Last Sunday I had the honour of being one of the six

Victoria area artists to be featured in the

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's

"HOUSE TOUR 2012"

This popular annual event has been organized by the

'GALLERY ASSOCIATES' 

since 1953!!!!!!

Special thanks to them, AGGV volunteers (there were many)

the corporate sponsors and all the many hundreds 

of ticket buying visitors and of course

the six home owners that opened their homes

for the event.

I was placed at the wonderful waterfront home on

Gonzales Bay...wow! I have uploaded a few photo's

of my day...

I started out with warm sun at my back lighting

up my subject. That soon changed (several times).

done, cleaned up and ready to pack up...

'Rising Tide - Gonzales Bay'

Gonzales has been a favourite beach

area almost since the beginning here

in Victoria. It is a sheltered shallow

bay with with high, steep foreshore

and wide expansive beach. The water gets

warm enough for water play in the summer.

Even in the cool months on warm days

the younger folk can be seen boogie

 boarding along the waters edge.

I plan to do a series of pieces in the

coming weeks featuring this Victoria jewel.

This was the second of the day following

the cloudscape in my previous post,

(and a nice warm lunch)!
