CALMING THOUGHTS

I have painted this scene once before on a smaller canvas, I decided to do it again because I really enjoyed painting the water, it was a challenge...I am pleased with the results. 

FERN ROAD

6 x 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

Yesterday I was driving back home and Fern Road just looked so beautiful, the way the sun was shining on the trees and with the beautiful cloud formation I had to stop and take some pictures. I started this painting with a white canvas(no underpainting) and very loosely made a few marks on the canvas to outline where things should go. I just did colour blocking, trying to stay away from much of the detail, I loved painting this way.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

6 x 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
$75.00

I have been so inspired by the lovely weather we have been having that I got in my car and drove around taking pictures.  Vancouver Island really does have some of the most beautiful scenery...I never take for granted the beauty that I live in.

Through the trees

size 10 x 10 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I took the photo for this painting at St. Annes academy in Victoria, I love walking there when I visit.  This painting is a little bit of a departure for me, I want to work more with light and shadow.

Chemainus bluff

6 x 8
oil on panel

SOLD

Yesterday we went to Saltspring Island for the day, on our way back my girlfriend Cindy took us on a tour of the town she grew up in, Chemainus.  We were in a new area of homes and there was one vacant lot left.  It was so beautiful with just a few trees and looking over to Saltspring.
