'Soon Will Come The Rains'

'soon will come the rains
bringing life giving nectar to the trickling stream
gone will be the hot, grass hopper days of September
salmon and trout will complete their circle of life

the firs and ferns will glisten
cedars and willows will bow in celebration
as the stream returns to her life flow
soon will come the rains'

'Above Skutz Falls'

As the title suggests this painting was painted just above

Skutz Falls on the Cowichan River during a magical

afternoon with bright sunlight highlighting the early fall

colour. The Cowichan river is one of the most important

rivers on Vancouver Island for spawning salmon and

very depleted steelhead. As well resident populations of

rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. It has for millennia,

and continues to be, a central part of the lives and culture

of some of the islands first peoples. To say it

is a beautiful river is very much an understatement.

It is wonderful feeling to be able to spend time

painting it and to sense the spirits that still

occupy this vital watershed.

Oil on wood panel 11 x 14.
