'Evensong Hayfields'(Canadian west coast Impressionism, hayfield's, evening clouds oil painting)

Not long from now haying time will begin again on the

south Island as it will in many other locations across the

country. It is a very special and nostalgic time for me.

When the scent of fresh mown hay fills the air it takes

me back in a rush to many different times of my past.

I hope to paint many hayfield's again this

year preferably en plein air.

'Camas & Oaks'**SOLD**(Canadian west coast Impressionism, wildflowers of southern Vancouver Island oil painting)

More camas with this latest piece as I try to keep a

commitment I made to myself last year, to do more

paintings this spring, featuring one of the most significant

wildflowers of our region. Though you sometimes find them

in a few other spots they are most often associated

with another of our native species the Garry oak.

This is one of my favourite places not far

from my studio.

'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.

I went up to Highrock for a paint after lunch today and

the Garry oaks and the Camas in full bloom.

It was quite windy making me grab for

'Spring Pasture',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Saanich Peninsula plein air oil painting, sheep pasture

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.

'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.

Another session up on Highrock with the clouds. An early

start allowed time for two paintings this trip. Course it

helped that the clouds continued to perform. Fortunately

the roving bands of showers didn't show up until I was

back in the studio...ooo nice =;-))

'March Cloud Pattern',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, spring clouds oil painting, Highrock Park)

Over the past week or so we have been having what I like

to call 'cloud events' that is to say that the cloud formations

moving through have been nothing short of spectacular.

I've been back up on Highrock several times recently

trying to capture these wonderful skies in paint.

Painting a moving target, yikes, and the shadows they cast

on the distant hills!! Lots of migrating birds to see

on my jaunts up the hill right now which makes

for a grand painting excursion!

'Spring Dance',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Garry oak meadows, Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team, spring

I painted this piece on what turned out to be a very cool

late afternoon a couple of weeks ago. The deal was to get

it done quickly so we allowed ourselves 45 minutes or less.

My main goal was to try and capture the light and colour

patterns that surrounded us at that time and not worry

to much about fine details. I'm pleased with the

results overall, course my desire for more fine details

nags at me a little. Once again the character of these

Garry oaks lead me to title the piece this way.

The Garry oak meadow that I painted in has the first

of the early wildflowers and naturalized invaders in bloom

already which is a bit early this year.

The incredible flush of the native Camas Lily

will not be to far off.

'Harlequin'

 
Harlequin ducks are strictly sea ducks found inland only

during nesting season where they can be seen in close

proximity to fast moving turbulent mountain streams here

on the west coast. Both coasts of North America have

populations and are usually sited close to rocky shorelines.

They seem total at home in very rough water and go about

their business with breaking surf going right over them

as they dive for food among the rocks and kelp beds.

The drakes are one of North Americas

most strikingly coloured sea birds.

'Botany Bay Magic' **SOLD** Canadian west coast Impressionism, Port Renfrew BC, Botanical Beach oil painting

I painted at Botany Bay on Saturday which is part of

Botanical Beach park just outside the west coast town

of Port Renfrew. From here the open Pacific can be seen,

the entrance to the strait Juan de Fuca and Washington's

Cape Flattery. Although the day could not have been

better, with clear sunny skies and shirtsleeve temperatures

out of the wind, the power of the Pacific was quite evident

when the huge swells rolled in and broke roaring on to the

jagged shale shoreline. An incredible magical day.

A return trip is in the works!

This is one of the larger pieces I have been

working on lately. Another view of French Beach which

is one of the several well known beaches that line

the coast of Vancouver Island northwest of Victoria.

One of the things that make a stone or pebble beach so

wonderful is the almost musical rattle and

clatter that happens as the waves recede from

the beach causing the stones to roll and tumble hitting

against one another. As well, you don't get

any sand in your shoes!! =;-))

(My apologies for the quality of this photo. I will try

again when this one is drier.)

'West Coast Wanderer',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, French Beach oil painting, rain forest, Victoria BC)

Canada's west coast with it's mountainous rain forest

terrain and the logging and storms that take place here

have produced many floating giants over the years.

Those logs and uprooted trees that find their way into the

sea are carried by wind and tide back and fourth along

the shoreline, some traveling for years and miles until

firmly beached or becoming so water logged

that they eventually sink.

The majestic cedar in this piece was washed into the sea

roots and all and finally came to rest on French Beach

about 60 km west of Victoria, from where

she came no one knows.

'After the Storm',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, surfing Jordan River, French Beach, Vancouver Island)

Our area had a number of wind and rain storms

over several days recently. Once the weather

settled down I made a short trip to Jordan River.

This is a well known surfing area about 70km

north of Victoria along the west side of the

island. There were some surfers out on the waves,

(no I wasn't one of them),

however that wasn't the reason I was there.

I took quite a few reference photo's of the waves

breaking on the beach but due to the strong

winds in that spot we backtracked to

the somewhat protected French Beach

set up our easels and got to it.

It was getting almost dark by the time

we packed up, but what a wonderful spot.

'Catrina',

I painted this portrait as gift for a very dear

friend on the occasion of her 90th birthday.

Born on a farm in the Canadian prairies she has

lived a very full and interesting life that she

has chronicled in a wonderful book.

A veteran of WW II she continues to lead

a very active and independent life.

Most of her life she went by the name of Kay.

Being of Ukrainian heritage in those days

many of her siblings and friends had their

names arbitrarily changed by a grade

school teacher on their first day at school

because they where considered too unusual

and hard to pronounce! When she told us

this story several years ago we have always

called her by her birth name 'Catrina' which

always brings a smile to her face.
