'West Coast Treasures',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, McNeill Bay, plein air oil painting

The title for this piece was chosen for its ambiguity.

I painted this on a glorious afternoon last week. This spot

is on the north side of McNeil Bay on Victoria's

beautiful waterfront. A very gentle soul soothing

place the beach leads out to a rocky island that is

accessible in most tides and across a narrow channel lies

the historic Trial Island light and beyond that

the Olympic Mountains across the strait.

Due to the very fast tides that swirl through this area

loads of flotsam are strewn in drifts along the

stone pebble beach. All of these treasures in their

own right, but all together, a real

west coast beach combers bonanza!

Oil on wood panel
 14 x 11.

And light has no weight,

Yet one is lifted on its flood,

Swept high,

Running up white-golden light-shafts,

As if one was as weightless as light itself,

All gold and white and light.

'September Light' *SOLD*(lake swimming, Canadian west coast Impressionism, light)

This scene exemplifies what a glorious time September

can be here on the south island. It is what greeted us after

we hiked in for what we thought might be our last

swim of the year, we were almost right but not quite...

=;-))

I think the light in September is the best of the

year for my area of the world.

Oil on canvas 16 x 20.
Comments and thoughts are always welcomed!

Early Morning-Saxe Point

Hi everyone,

I was back painting at Saxe Point park early Friday morning.

I choose this perspective to try and capture the wonderful

sky above the distant shore and the Olympic mountains.

At this time of year there is a special quality of light that

is very unique to late summer/early fall here on the

south island and one I am trying to paint.

Oil on wood panel 9 x 12.

Comments always very much appreciated!
