March Sky-Oak Bay

I worked this painting up from a smaller plein

air piece I did back in March ;)).

I have been trying to paint cloudy day paintings this

year without the "dreary", something I

tend to struggle to accomplish.

Oil on linen 18 x 14.

Comments always welcomed!

"We worked from early morning until dark in sun,

grey weather or in rain. In the evening by lamp or candlelight

each showed the others his sketches.

This was a time for criticism, encouragement and

discussion, for our discoveries about painting, for our

thoughts about the character of the country and our

descriptions of effects in nature which differed in

each part of the country."

(Lawren Harris...writing about the trip to Algoma)

March Sky-Discovery Island

About a dozen ardent plein air painters were

greeted with a raw wind, cool temperatures and

intermittent drizzle this morning at Cattle Point

on Oak Bay. Finding a spot where the wind

was bearable was a priority. Painting fast essential!

I finished this piece in the studio later.

Oil on canvas 12 x 9.

Your comments are always appreciated!

March Morning - Oak Bay Marina

Had a lovely morning plein air painting on Thursday

with a couple of buddies. We set up on a pretty

busy spot near the marina in Oak Bay and

spent about an hour. This piece is a little different

in style for me as I simplified as much as I could.

I like the very graphic result.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Comments always welcomed.
