'Maybe in the Spring',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, plein air oil painting of southern Vancouver Island)

 
I was out painting last Wed. on the sunniest day we have

had here on the south Island for awhile now.

Many of the low lying fields in our area flood through

the wet season much to the joy of the waterfowl.

Of course these fields will remain much to wet

for the folks who work them till sometime next spring.

The wet areas in the distance were thick with mallards,

pintails and a few ring-necks. A flock of swans were using

a large pond to the left of this scene and so while

painting I had several small groups of swans glide low

over me and land in the pond.

(The snow? Maybe...maybe not?)

Another year has gone by... how'd that happen?

I would like to take a moment to say thanks

to the many of you out there who

have been a much cherished

source of support through this past year of art

and challenges. I hope you all know how

much I appreciate your friendship.

A very 'Happy New Year' to you and

all the best in 2011.
