In the fading June evening light
Parrish clouds all billowed and bright
Oh too soon it will be night'

Fields Of May

'Fields of May'

'Today I walked through fields of grass
tall and waving they hid half of me
here and there bushes of wild roses stopped me
as I stood taking in their perfume
Barn swallows swooped low over the waving seed tops
my mind filled with memories I breathed deeply
In these fields of May'
~Jeffrey J. Boron~

'October Sunrise-Cox Bay'

This is one of the paintings from a recent trip to Tofino.

The beach that I was standing on separates

Chesterman Beach from Cox Bay. A very exciting spot

to paint from as you have to watch for the rising tide both

in front and behind you.

'Summer Afternoon-Saanichton Bay'

As I recall there was some snow on the ground when

the ALFS painted here last winter. On this warm

and still summer afternoon, several weeks ago now,

it was really a peaceful spot.

'Summer Refit'

I painted this old tug the 'Tiger Horse' the other

 day from outside the fence at Point Hope Shipyards.

The small format helped to keep me from getting

caught up in all that wonderful detail.

'Camas Meadow'

Hi everyone,

This is my effort from two weeks ago at the Uplands

Park/Cattle Point paint out. If your wanting to

paint Camas Lily's this spring better get crackin' as they are

 already starting to shrivel in the more sunny spots.

'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.

'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.
