'Evening Ferry' plein air oil Fulford Harbour

I painted this piece from the lookout high on top of

Saltspring Island's Mount Maxwell. We got set up late in the

afternoon and I have to say it was some kind of wonderful!!

This view is looking to the south east and Washington State.

For the most part while we were there it was just us

sharing the view and the scent of soul syrup with the

ravens and the turkey vultures that soared on the updrafts

of the steep cliff face below us, sometimes so close we

could hear the air rushing through their wings!

Can't wait to paint there again!

'Saltspring Cove' **SOLD**

This is one of the paintings I did on my recent trip.

It's across the bay from the Fulford Harbour ferry dock.

I only had about hour total including set-up and take down

and I must say I think it helped with the end result!

Oil on board 6 x 8.

As always I welcome your comments and thoughts

on my artistic endeavours!

March Morning - Oak Bay Marina

Had a lovely morning plein air painting on Thursday

with a couple of buddies. We set up on a pretty

busy spot near the marina in Oak Bay and

spent about an hour. This piece is a little different

in style for me as I simplified as much as I could.

I like the very graphic result.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Rodd Hill park this morning for some

Highrock #12

A break in the weather yesterday afternoon saw me

back at Highrock Park. I've become fascinated

with the undulating surface of the moss covered rock

interspersed with the native firs and Garry oaks.

Our relatively mild wet winter weather makes

for perfect moss growing conditions and right

now the moss at Highrock is flourishing.

Oil on board 11 x 14.

Highrock #10

A stellar day for plein air painting today and I

was able to take advantage of it! Another one

from my park and in finding this spot I saw many

more painting sites to come...stay tuned.

(My apologies for the poor photo!)

Winter Wetland

This piece was painted plein air yesterday and

once again it was foggy along with very cool

temperatures. Our group of "outsiders" met at the

Viaduct Flats wetland a lovely spot just

outside of Victoria. This wetland area is a

wintering area for a large group of

Trumpeter swans that kept up a fantastic serenade

with their soft bugling/honking vocalizations.

Bird watching while painting outside, how great is that!

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Comments always enjoyed!

Highrock Moss

We have been having "Inversion Layer" weather

here in Victoria that leaves us mostly in the fog until

afternoon if were lucky. I ran out yesterday afternoon

when it broke up, to that little park I've been painting.

There are amazing rock formations on the hill there,

all smoothed by glacial activity and large areas

covered in lovely moss which is featured in this

plein air piece. This is painting #9 from this

park, only 91 to go!

November Marsh

It was quite cool for plein air painting this morning

but I'm glad I made it out. The Panama Flats is

a wetland on the outskirts of Victoria. It is a lovely

birding area, that right now is full of waterfowl.

A small flock of swans landed while I was there

painting. I was also fortunate to spot an

Eurasian Wigeon in amongst the many other dabblers.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

the Horse Barn

The classic red barn always seems to work in a painting.

This piece was done en plein air yesterday

in a wonderful spot not far from my home in Esquimalt.

It is a beautiful time of year with the new grass

and leaves in all those wonderful greens.

I plan to go back soon, as there are many

different views for more paintings

all from the same general location.

Although this piece is a bit dark I really liked the way

all the colours worked together.

Oil on canvas 11 x 14.

Highlands Pasture

This plein air study was done near Francis-King Park

not far from Victoria. It is an old rural agricultural area

that is hard pressed to keep development at bay.

In fact heavy machinery was hard at work across the fields

in this painting. I tried hard to be quick and simple

in this piece, with the emphasis on composition,

brush strokes and of course clouds.

I kept my palette limited as well.

Oil on canvas 8 x 10.

Top of the Rock

Just finished this one from a photo taken while out

plein air painting on Friday.

I loved the drama of the two isolated trees

backdropped by the hudge clouds

rising up behind them.

Oil on canvas 8 x 6.
