'Camas Trail'

If you enjoy painting wildflowers, in particular,
Camas and Shooting Stars, you want to get out there
pretty quick as they are coming into the top of the
bloom now. This was painted last week in Uplands Park.

'Spring Sky-Little Trial Island'

Hi everyone!
Well the weather does show some promise from time
to time. This is the piece I came up with while painting
one afternoon recently with Ken Faulks.
Adam Noonan dropped by and took some pics
that you can see on the ALFS website.
The cloud display was nothing short of
spectacular that day!

'Snowy Coffin Island'

Though I didn't make it out Friday morning I did
get out after lunch for a paint. The Coffin Islands are
on the north side of the harbour close to the entrance to
West Bay. The park can be accessed off Esquimalt Rd.

'Easterly Gale - Albert Head'

This my effort from this mornings excursion to a
gale blown Albert Head. Unlike a few hardier souls,
this old soldier painted inside the truck.
This was my first from behind the windshield and
I will need to get a better set-up for next time.

"Little Brown Pot" oil 11 x 14


A plein Air painting done behind a glass door looking out - I have been watching DVDs by the late Helen van Wyk whose style arises out of the classic European painters. She was quite the gal, and I learned a lot  from her many amusing tips. R.I.P. Helen.
This is my own still life arrangement which I approached using her precepts.

'Lgoon Willows'

Hello everyone,
This is my effort from this past Friday's jaunt to
Albert Head Lagoon. The parking lot side of the beach
dune was not bad as it was out of the wind there.
Still pretty chilly though.
Hope to see some others upload some plein air beauties.

'View from Waxwing Point'

Hello to all Papov's!
Though I haven't been out with you all much in the past
months I have been painting.
This is one of two I did on a recent day
excursion to Cowichan Lake.
What have you been painting lately??
