'September Morning-Gillingham Islands'


Not for the first time, I must say that painting
here on the south end of Vancouver Island 
in the wonderful September light
is one of my most treasured 
times of the year.

'Spring Weather - Royal Roads'

This spot is not far from my studio 
and it is one I have been meaning to paint 
for quite some time. It is a
rather exposed location which is fine 
except when a sudden 180 wind shift puts you 
right in the teeth of a spring gale -
like right now!! 
Fortunately, I was just putting some
finishing strokes on when I was forced 
to try and get everything on the ground
 before it blew away.
 I did manage to get that done except for my tripod 
which, of course, blew over and fell 
catching my grounded palette and putting
my brushes and several other pieces of equipment 
firmly into the gobs of paint...
=:-p
Ah the joy and excitement 
of painting en plein air!
