'Winter Sun Scia'new'
oil on wood panel
8 x 10

~~~~~~~~~~
A beautiful morning in the ancient lands 

of Scia'new (''the place of the big fish,") today...

The Scia'new First Nations trace their ancestry 

to people who spoke four different languages. 

The community recognizes all four languages 

although they are not all currently spoken. 

The predominant language is now Hul’q’umi’num

It is for me the the most preciously beautiful

of all the areas in the south Island.

I have spent many hours and days

salmon fishing in these waters,

but it will never be as

often as I wished...

'Shoreline Willow'

A fairly complex subject for a small plein air piece.

But as usual I tend to try and get it all in there.

The shallow rocky shoreline, dappled with pure light,

varying shades of shadow and reflected sky colour.

Move back from your monitor it'll make better sense.

Oil on wood panel 6 x 8.

Comments always encouraged & appreciated!

'Uplands Camas' **SOLD**(Canadian west coast Impressionism, oil painting of Uplands Park, Victoria, BC, Camas Lily)

Uplands Park in Oak Bay is at its finest right now as

I discovered this morning when I arrived for a paint out.

Beautiful drifts of our native Camas Lily among the

rocky outcrops in this natural Garry oak meadow are

really something to see. While I painted there this

morning it was lovely to sense the spirits of the first

peoples, whose footprints were here thousands of years

before first contact, harvesting the Camas bulbs

as a major staple of their diet.

'April Afternoon',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, April clouds, southern Vancouver Island, plein air oil painting)

This is the second piece I spoke of in my last post. Those

lovely cloud formations have become more threatening

and dramatic in nature. The shadows they cast on the

landscape below them heightens the drama and interest.

This photo did come out a tad dark in lower quarter

of the painting, so another will have to be taken.

The contrast of the cloud darkened areas and those in

the full sun were quite dazzling as I painted this piece.

'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.

'Saxe Point Beach' **SOLD**, plein air oil Saxe Point Park,

I was back painting at Saxe Point again this afternoon

and came back with this beach study. We continue

to luxuriate in outstanding September weather here on

the south island and I'm trying to get out as much as I can.

As always the real thing tends to look better

then the image on the monitor. I encourage you to

pull back from the screen and take another look.

I'll try another photo when the painting is dry.
