Summer Sanctuary

This piece is one of a group of larger canvases
 that I have been working on for awhile now.

As you can tell from the title 
it is a very special place in my world. 
A place where one can, for a short time,

let life's problems drift away 
as my consciousness melds with the scents 
and sounds of the forest.

The cool water washes over you and your spirit

lifts as you scan the surrounding hills

and the sky above. Once again I marvel

at the wonder of our natural world and sense

the spirits that surely inhabit this place.

Cowichan Lake Summer

When ever I think of Cowichan Lake in the

summer time, this is the spot that usually I

see in my minds eye. 
If you like lake swimming

in the heat of high summer it doesn't get

better than this little cove.

This is yet another example of the 
wonderful variations in colour
 that show up in this lakes water.
