One West Coast Evening


 There are some very special places not far from here.
Scenes that burn into your memory so
that they become more than just
rock, sky and water.
Botany Bay is one such place,
for me...

'The Rugged Coast'


Watching the incredible force of these Pacific
swells being thrown skyward by these
coastal ramparts is a thrilling
experience.
The knowledge that there are many animals
and birds that call this ecosystem home
makes you aware just how tenuous  
 our hold is to mother earth.

'Last Light Botany Bay'


"The quiet is broken only by the small waves being pushed
ashore by the incoming tide.
You can sense something deeper in the cool stillness.
Soon the coming dusk will envelope the world
where you stand looking...and listening.
Yet you delay leaving,
though the trail back is long and growing ever darker.
Then, raven's call disturbs your reverie
and reluctantly you turn away from the sea 
and head for the trail."

'Island Sunset',

(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Port Renfrew, Botany Bay)

This piece is a culmination of the theme of several of
the larger canvases I have completed recently.
I must say it has been very satisfying to work through
this series. Time to move on to something else for a bit.
Gotta get back amongst the oaks!

'Winter Surf',

(Canadian west coast Impressionism, Port Renfrew, winter surfing)

 
Another studio piece from my Port Renfrew trip.
These two wet suit clad fun seekers were among
the twenty or so out catching waves
in the sparkling surf.
I love to paint light and this piece really
provided a wonderful outlet for that.

I would like to draw your attention to
a wonderful Saskatchewan artist
Nicki Ault. Her work is fresh and
bold, a real inspiration!

'Botany Bay Magic' **SOLD**

Canadian west coast Impressionism, Port Renfrew BC, Botanical Beach oil painting

I painted at Botany Bay on Saturday which is part of
Botanical Beach park just outside the west coast town
of Port Renfrew. From here the open Pacific can be seen,
the entrance to the strait Juan de Fuca and Washington's
Cape Flattery. Although the day could not have been
better, with clear sunny skies and shirtsleeve temperatures
out of the wind, the power of the Pacific was quite evident
when the huge swells rolled in and broke roaring on to the
jagged shale shoreline. An incredible magical day.
A return trip is in the works!
