'Saanich Farm',

(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Saanich farm plein air oil painting)




This painting really highlights the changing season here
on the south island. I joined a couple of my plein air pals
late one morning a couple of weeks ago to paint this piece.
Though the day was crisp and clear I felt the addition of
the clouds added a bit of drama to the composition.
Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

'Michell's Farm' **SOLD**

plein air oil painting, Canadian west coast Impressionism, Saanich Peninsula, fruit & vegetables

The Michell farm is one of the older ones on the
Saanich Peninsula. The family home sits high on a ridge
above the valley featured in this piece. Many of the
vegetable fields in this painting are part of their large fruit
and vegetable operation. Once again this year our
non-group group (the Victoria Al frescoes)
was granted permission to range over
the farm and paint. This one was painted from the entrance
to their driveway. That's garlic in the very foreground as
well in the distance, fields of corn, cabbage
and big orange pumpkins.
Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

'September Morning', plein air oil painting, Canadian west coast Impressionism, Island Veiw Beach

 
I painted with a non-group of plein air enthusiasts Friday
morning on the Saanich Peninsula's Island View Beach.
It was lovely warm morning with a low tide and a wonderful
sky and only a light breeze. I arrived fairly early and
was hoping to capture the feel of a morning in early fall
with this piece. This is a very popular spot among
our local bird watching community.

Saanich Spring

This piece was done early last week on a beautiful
spring day on the Saanich Peninsula. The shadows
being cast by the drifting clouds are what
really caught my eye in this scene.
