Summer Heat - Cowichan

There are places we have the fortune to
experience that burn a memory on our soul
a place where you feel the heartbeat of
the old ones who first breathed this air
and who's stardust still mingles with the scent
of pine and fir in the hot summer air...

'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!

'Cowichan Shore'

As I mentioned in my last post I came back from

Cowichan Lake with two paintings. This study of

overhanging backlit Alder limbs with that summer

sparkling water was the first of the day. It was perhaps

a little complex for the first one and me

standing on a secluded natural beach with that cool

clear Cowichan Lake water lapping at the stony shore,

and me not even having my first swim yet...yikes!

'View from Waxwing Point'

Last week I made a day trip up to Cowichan Lake about

an hour and a half north west of Victoria. I must say

it was a stellar day, warm and very quiet, almost like

we had the lake to ourselves. We spent the day at a spot

about 15 minute boat ride from the launch ramp I call

Waxwing Point, mainly because I have never been there

and not had many beautiful Cedar Waxwings

feeding and flying about. The views from the point

as well back in the trees along the creek bank offer

many painting opportunities, this piece was one

of two I did that day. Ah, painting, birding

and lake swimming, can it be better than that?

Oil on wood panel 9 x 12.

Cowichan Lake Summer

When ever I think of Cowichan Lake in the

summer time, this is the spot that usually I

see in my minds eye. 
If you like lake swimming

in the heat of high summer it doesn't get

better than this little cove.

This is yet another example of the 
wonderful variations in colour
 that show up in this lakes water.
