'Holland Point Surf'

I started this painting as a demo for a

local art club working from

a series of photo's taken

on the beach during a 

south easterly gale...

'Winter Gale'

*Happy New Year Everyone!*

I painted this piece from the protection of the

cab of my truck yesterday, using my homemade

lap box that I put together with this in mind.

 It was blowin' 35 kmh gusting to 50

and the wind surfers were in their glory!

Rain squalls, then sunshine with rainbows then

back again all within minutes so paint fast

boyo! It was cold in the truck and the gust

buffeting my rolling studio made a steady hand

an illusion at best.

If this truck is rockin' don't... =:-/

The view from my studio window this morning.

More weather on the way...

'South Island Spectacular'

Those of you who follow this blog from time to

time may remember that back in March I had

a wonderful plein air experience with a sky filled

all day with tremendous cloud formations.

This piece was developed

from photo's taken on that excursion as well

the painting done then and one done a

couple days later in a different location.

I may try and do several more... =:-/

'Rising Wind - Holland Point'

Though I may seem to whine a bit about bad weather

the neat thing about cloudy wet weather is getting set

up as the winds rise and the clearing begins.

I was lucky enough to get out one afternoon a

couple of weeks ago for just that sort of event.

The clouds and sparkle on the water seems so much

brighter and lively. Little things that make plein air

so very interesting and challenging.

'March Afternoon - Holland Point'

Another plein air from Victoria's waterfront. This time

I faced west toward Albert Head while standing

above the beach at Holland Point. That is the

green marker at Brotchie Ledge in the middle left.

Our weather is very unpredictable these days and it is a real

gamble as to what conditions you will get from one hour

to the next. We got lucky close to noon on

Friday for this excursion.

'North from Holland Point'

I started painting this piece on a really beautiful late

morning in lovely sun on Victoria's waterfront.

However as many can attest, when painting en plein air,

a beautiful sunny day can be quickly over taken

by a cloud bank. This one showered us in

ice pellets and had us making a hasty retreat after about

an hour...what a difference an hour can bring...

=:-/

So I finished it off in the warm dry studio.

'One October Morning' *SOLD*

This was painted a couple of weeks ago on a

beautiful October morning on Victoria's waterfront.

I was able to make it out early enough to

catch some interesting light and colour.

This spot is above Holland Point looking south across

the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Washington's

Olympic Mountains.
