'Mitchell's Lookout'

Pretty wet out on the painting grounds yesterday.

But I waited for a brief window between 
the bands of showers...

with a nice sunny break at the end.

Here on the south Island, April's cloud show

has not disappointed, with daily

extravaganzas in the spring sky.

Oh to have the energy to paint and capture

everyone of them, throughout everyday.

'Sunrise On The Salish Sea'

Containing natures drama within the confines of

a particular size support and yet trying to allow

its raw beauty to some how be free is always a

challenge. Magically with a bit of paint

and some patient perseverance

we sometimes come close.

Alas it is after all but paint and canvas.

However artists do dream and

sometimes, even dreams can come true.

This is another one for my upcoming show

in March at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria,

 more info to follow.

'South Coast Light'

This painting was developed from a plein air piece I

painted last March. I must say that the grand scale

in this painting was very inspiring and I set my

imagination dial to "Playtime" and let it happen!

'Morning Winds - Enterprise Channel'

BC's south coast was battered by another gale from early

morning and through much of today. Some areas registering

wind gusts to 100kmh. Though the winds were not

anywhere near that speed where I painted this morning,

it was too windy to set up outside so I hunkered down,

once again, in the shelter of my vehicle...

Incredibly beautiful skies and sparkling water in a very

fast changing panorama, so make a decision and

paint fast boyo!

Passing Storm

This painting was worked up from a small one that I

painted several months ago. One of Victoria's

important light stations it sits about three miles to the

north of Victoria's inner harbour. Trial Island light has

been guarding the approach to both Oak Bay and

Victoria for many years and has been instrumental

to navigation and saving the lives of many mariners

in the often rough seas it surveys.

Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

Your comments are always a pleasure.
