Here on the south end of Vancouver Island the rush of spring is at its height. That time when the brightness of
emerging leaves is keyed up even more with the bright
morning sun. I pulled off to the side of a quiet country road
on Friday and quickly painted this piece. The pasture is
actually being used by a large flock of sheep, the wet area
by pairs of Canada geese and small bunches of
Green-winged Teal and a few Mallards none of whom,
mysteriously, made it into this painting =;-))
Overhead swallows soared in the warm air hunting insects
and a young eagle made low swoops over the pond
hoping for slow moving waterfowl but having no
success as the geese put up a chorus as it approached.
The heady scent of spring cottonwood filled the
air with its soul stirring scent.
Oil on wood panel 6 x 8.
Comments always appreciated!
