Moonrise Macaulay Point

The moon and its affects on ocean tides

and the Earthlings that observe them

have always intrigued our species.

Attempting to capture in paint, 

a moment in natures grand display

will continue to be a 

passionate endeavor for me.

Almost Summer

Here on the south Island, as the last few days of spring slip by
our skies have been filled with those wonderful clouds that
seem to mesmerize and delight a painter such as I...

'Evening Tide- Juan de Fuca'

This piece was started as a demo

for one of the local art groups here in Victoria.

This is Esquimalts Macaulay Point looking

northeast to the entrance to Victoria Harbour.

The rough ground along the shoaling

shoreline makes for some incredible

wave action.

'Highrock Meadow'

Here on the south island another year of spring wild 

flowers is drawing to a close.

It was such a joy to get out painting amongst them

and get some photo references for 

more paintings.

Not sure what effect the lack of bees will have on

these precious spring friends.

'Highrock Solstice'

On Winter's Eve afternoon I painted in a

favourite spot not far from the studio.

It felt good being out painting on that crisp

day as I welcomed the return of the light

and marveled once again at the

natural beauty so close to home.
Two Flickers spent some time observing
my progress sitting just above me
in a young Garry Oak.

'Highrock Rhythms'

'Highrock Rhythms' oil on canvas 30 x 40

This painting was inspired by an earlier plein air piece

that was sold a couple of years ago. I enlarged the

format and changed the season among other things.

I have included an image of the original below

for comparison. Naturally the huge size deferential

may be hard to imagine in this posting.

'August Sky - Highrock' oil on wood panel 9 x 12

Not sure if the transition worked but I think

I'm happy with it so far...

Caroline Simmill from the wilds of the
Scottish moorlands. Amazing atmospheric landscapes.

'Late Summer-Highrock'

 
Oh yes the the time is late and seems to quicken with

the passing days. At times the melancholies are hard

to shake with summers passing. I went painting on two

evenings recently and was rewarded with wonderful

painting opportunities on both excursions.

A weather front was approaching and change was in the

air, it arrived last night and summer almost seems

like a distant memory already!

'Highrock Contours" *SOLD*(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Highrock Park, Esquimalt BC, Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team)

I was able to get out for a quick paint last Sunday at

Highrock park once again. As you can see we had a very

cool cloudy day, something I find very challenging to paint.

The lovely rounded rock contours covered with a coat of

winter moss and the dancing Garry oaks

grabbed my attention this day.

'September Evening-Highrock',(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Highrock Park, Esquimalt BC, Western Tanagers, September)

It has been a very hectic past few weeks with art shows and

other related activities and my blogging has been infrequent

to say the least. As well, my painting time has been very

limited. This piece was painted from a photo I took on an

early September evening while up on Highrock for

for a paint out with artist Linny D. Vine.

It was a lovely warm evening and we were very fortunate

to be there just as a large foraging flock of migrating

Western Tanagers arrived to feed, much to the dismay

of several cranky Olive-sided Flycatchers. There was

non-stop activity for over an hour. I went back up the

next evening hoping for a repeat but it was as though

all the birds in the world had vanished!

Oil on canvas 14 x 18.

Sunrise on Lyall St. **SOLD**

We have had some really great sunrises lately and

I decided I needed to try a painting of the way my

street looks in September just as the sun starts to

come up. I took a few photos on my morning walk

the other day and used them for reference.

Oil on board 6 x 6.

Comments always welcomed.
