Evening Sail-Oak Bay

'Out on the bay the sailors delight
In the fading June evening light
Parrish clouds all billowed and bright
Oh too soon it will be night'

'Cattle Point Camas'

This years Camas bloom at Cattle Point is nothing

 short of spectacular. However due to the areas rocky terrain

and this weekends heat and drying winds it will very

quickly start the inevitable dying off.

The time of the Camas always seems

to take forever to start but so 

soon to end...

'Summer Wind-Oak Bay'

Fierce winds today on the south coast but I managed

to tuck myself out of most of it and still be able

to paint its effect on the water under the bright sun.

I have painted many times at Cattle Point but there

is always another angle with different light and season.

The sparkle of the water was very intense and is

what grabbed my attention for this piece.

'October-Cattle Point' **SOLD**(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Cattle Point, Oak Bay, fall colour, flu)

I managed to make it out on Wednesday this week for a

quick paint at Cattle Point on Oak Bay. I say quick because

after about 45 min. the wind and rain came up and had me

scurring to the vehicle, not quite quick enough however!

I have been battling a flu for the last week or so as well

as the weather which has been very unsettled,

very much like my illness,

lousy one day not bad the next. I'm really looking forward

to more of one and less of the other =;-))
(whine ...whine...whine...)

Oil on board 6 x 8.

Comments always appreciated!

High Summer-Cattle Point

I painted this piece about three weeks ago out at

Cattle Point. It is quite evident in the painting that we

had a cool and cloudy day.

As is normal for this time of year the grasses have died

back and turned almost a golden white

here on the south island..

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.

"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)

Passing Storm

This painting was worked up from a small one that I

painted several months ago. One of Victoria's

important light stations it sits about three miles to the

north of Victoria's inner harbour. Trial Island light has

been guarding the approach to both Oak Bay and

Victoria for many years and has been instrumental

to navigation and saving the lives of many mariners

in the often rough seas it surveys.

Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

Your comments are always a pleasure.
