'One Evening in June'

 
I've been trying to get out to the fields as often as I can
right now as they will be haying soon. As well
the light early and late is really fantastic in mid June.
This one was painted yesterday evening and while
I worked I was reminded of the fields around where
I spent most of my childhood. This is a very
important time of year for someone very special to me,
my little sister. Her birthday is tomorrow and I was
thinking about the old days back in Concord, Ontario.
Our place was surrounded by farm fields and small
woodlots and we used to go back in the fields for miles
as if they were our own. We had names for certain
trees and other natural landmarks. I guess, though
we may end up far from where we begin
somehow we really never leave...
Happy Birthday Lisa!!

'Winter Walk',

(Canadian west coast Impressionism, winter, snow, southern Vancouver Island)

Winter on southern Vancouver Island often
happens without snow, (seldom without lots of
rain), but we do get real winter
from time to time. When that happens I do
my best to re-supply my 'winter' reference
photo library. This piece was painted using a
photo I took after a January snow
storm back in 2007.
Oil on canvas 16 x 20.

'September Light' *SOLD*

(lake swimming, Canadian west coast Impressionism, light)

This scene exemplifies what a glorious time September
can be here on the south island. It is what greeted us after
we hiked in for what we thought might be our last
swim of the year, we were almost right but not quite...
=;-))
I think the light in September is the best of the
year for my area of the world.
