'Autumn on the River'

 
Hi everyone,

Well I'm back on the river once again so to

speak. This is the largest so far in the series.

This format allowed me to include more detail which helped

to show the drop in elevation as the water starts it's

rush to the head of the falls at the viewers left.
In the years I have been on southern Vancouver Island

my time on the water has largely been on the sea and

some of our inland lakes. However this series has made me

realize how much I've been missing and I'm planning

future painting excursions to this and other

rivers here on the south Island.

'Autumn on the Cowichan'

This was started as a demo I was invited to do for a

wonderful group of local artists last week.

Using my plein air rig I attempted to give a close

idea as to how I would approach painting this scene en plein

air only in this situation using a photo.

=:-/

As I had recently done a painting of this size en plein air

only a few feet from where the reference photo was taken

it helped me to keep it as real as possible (sort of).

I invite your thoughts & comments!

'Above Skutz Falls'

As the title suggests this painting was painted just above

Skutz Falls on the Cowichan River during a magical

afternoon with bright sunlight highlighting the early fall

colour. The Cowichan river is one of the most important

rivers on Vancouver Island for spawning salmon and

very depleted steelhead. As well resident populations of

rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. It has for millennia,

and continues to be, a central part of the lives and culture

of some of the islands first peoples. To say it

is a beautiful river is very much an understatement.

It is wonderful feeling to be able to spend time

painting it and to sense the spirits that still

occupy this vital watershed.
