Beacon Hill Park - Mayor's Grove by Jenn Wilson

Jenn Wilson painted this lively rendering of the fall leaves of Beacon Hill Park. It is at once fresh and light, with good contrast and colour.

Beacon Hill Park in the Fall(-ing rain!)

Yes it was raining steadily, so I set up my paints in the bandstand next to the children's playground. Of course it was a no-school day so several crocodiles of kids came sheltering in after a few rides on the wet swings. Bless 'em, some said my painting was "nice" although I struggled with it. Anyhows, here it is - unpretentious, loose and brushy.

"Big Red Crab"

My daughter Jenn and I painted this critter from an earlier 6 x 6 study I had done of a crab on the beach at Duncan, BC.

We worked with brushy strokes and medium impasto to get a painterly result.
Not too finished, not too sketchy.
