A Moment Like This

'A moment like this
the sea has gone silent
the world seems to stop
every second counts

A moment like this
cast in golden light
sounds are soft in the stillness
here on the very edge

A moment like this
can’t last so very long
it will fade with the light
only memories will remain

A moment like this
touches our soul
it fills the senses
makes us breathe deeply

A moment like this'

'Tonquin Light'

Though it can be said that each geographic

area has its own special light,

none more so than here on the coast.

Attempting to capture the light with

a rapidly advancing weather system bearing 

down on your location is always challenging.

Often we are forced to "play"

a little with reality.

Using both a small plein air piece

and photo's taken while painting it I

"played" with this piece

within the confines of the studio

and reality.

'South Chesterman Sunrise'

Sometimes a scene so endears its self to you

that once is not enough. This is my 

third attempt at this scene ...

(Is he done with it yet?  You might ask )

Perhaps, maybe, but, what if...?

'West Coast Sunset'

"The tide has retreated with the setting sun

and with it the rolling surf that roared on to 

the beach just a short time ago.
Calm and almost tranquil, the sea now rests.
You feel its breath on your face 
in short breezy gusts of 
cool marine air.
No longer fearing its force you stroll to its
edge and gaze seaward where 
it seems to sleep.
Aware that not long from now its might will,
once again, send you scurrying to the
trees and rocks that hold her at bay.
Such beauty and raw power has always drawn
us to her like a mystical force 
we cannot deny."

'Morning Surf'

Unlike my previous post this painting features a more

subtle, later morning sky but of course it's all

about the curling surf here.

Walking out on the sand as far as you dare

without getting your feet wet is

an exhilarating adventure.

However as I stood there marvelling at the

sound of those waves and feeling the pulse of the

sea, I felt somewhat lame as hardy, wet suit clad

surfers ran past me and hurled themselves and their

boards into the crashing surf.

Trying to catch, what I was assured were

very "SWEET" waves...

Well it looks like Victoria, like many other areas, will have

a 'green' Christmas this year (not unusual for my neck

of the woods). So I thought I would post a real West Coast

scene for this years Christmas post.

Thanks everyone for all your support and encouragement

throughout this year. It would really have

been tough without it.

Wishing you all love, peace & joy.

It's all we really need...
