'View from Hurricane Ridge'

Washington State's Olympic Peninsula and

the Olympic Mountains make up the back drop

of the southern view across the strait from

my studio. They are incredibly beautiful and I have

seen and painted them in all kinds of weather and

light conditions from many locations

 on the water, hill tops and beaches of

southern Vancouver Island.

However until recently had never seen them

up close. Artist Linny D. Vine and I made the

trip in late August this summer and arrived at the

top of Hurricane Ridge on one of the hottest days

of the year. Spectacular really doesn't cover what

awaited us. The mountain wildflowers were at

there fullness in incredibly diverse colours and sizes.

However the scent of pine and wild mountain sage that

drifted in the hot air still lingers in my soul.

Our time seem to pass so very quickly. More trips

are planned for the near future.

'Trial Island from Anderson Hill' **SOLD**

One afternoon a couple of weeks ago I painted atop

Anderson Hill overlooking historic Trial Island and

across the strait Juan de Fuca to Washington's

Olympic Mountains. One of those special warm May

afternoons when the winds of the strait were calm and

the late day sun makes those wonderful colours.

The rain shadow effect of the Olympic Peninsula is quite

evident in this scene as the clouds coming in off the open

Pacific pile up against the mountains and away

from us over here in Victoria.

Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.

Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated!

Early Morning-Saxe Point

Hi everyone,

I was back painting at Saxe Point park early Friday morning.

I choose this perspective to try and capture the wonderful

sky above the distant shore and the Olympic mountains.

At this time of year there is a special quality of light that

is very unique to late summer/early fall here on the

south island and one I am trying to paint.

Oil on wood panel 9 x 12.

Comments always very much appreciated!
