'Morning Tide'

Early morning, a flood tide, a beach on southern

Vancouver Island. You can feel the life pulse of the

sea and all the life within her.

'South of Sombrio', **SOLD** (Canadian west coast Impressionism, French Beach, Sombrio Beach, paintings of Vancouver Island)

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.)

Oil on canvas
30 x 40.

SOLD

'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.

Oil on canvas 12 x 16.

Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated!
