At The Edge Of Enchantment

I painted in this magical place yesterday

and as I worked, salmon were

making their way upstream to spawn.

By mid morning the sun began to

filter into the canyon lighting

up the moss covered trees, coloured leaves

and sparkling the stream.

It was easy to feel the spirit of

Emily Carr dancing among the

trees and along the banks 

of the stream...

September Sky Esquimalt Lagoon

'Some cloud chasing with this piece, 

on a beautiful early September morning.
The resting Gulls in the foreground 

seemed little concerned with my folly...'

'Late of a summer evening
when from off the sea
a lively breeze
moves through the trees
Swallows and Martins soaring high
in the fast fading rays
of the summer sky
and the golden glow
of these halcyon days'

'Highrock Sky'

This one is from a few weeks ago that

goes to show you never know what your

going to find when you head out.

This cloud formation started to form 

as I was walking about to get

my chosen spot for this

early evening paint.

Another one in this years crop of Camas.

'Sailing in Paradise'

'From a cliff high up on the Malahat 

looking north to the Gulf Islands while painting this piece

 it is easy to see this wonderful area 

as a paradise worthy of 

our reverence and protection...'

'Mitchell's Lookout'

Pretty wet out on the Mitchell painting grounds today. 

But I waited for a brief window between the bands of showers...

nice sunny break at the end.
 Here on the south Island, April's cloud show

has not disappointed, with daily

extravaganzas in the spring sky.

Oh to have the energy to paint and capture

everyone of them, throughout everyday.

Wonderful morning painting yesterday. The Fawn lilies were

 out along the trails with a few Wild Onions and Camas.

 A nuthatch was busy excavating a nesting cavity

 just a few feet away from my painting spot.

Otters and seals were feeding just below me 

along with geese, swans and diving ducks. 

Just as I was getting near the finish 

the fog rolled in, 

very thickly...

'Morning Clouds Royal Roads'

I painted this the other day out on the

Coburg Peninsula. It was a pretty cool

morning after the many milder ones we've

been enjoying lately.

'Waiting for the Swallows'

Here on the southern tip of Vancouver Island

we are experiencing one the strangest 

winters. Spring is here like it was

 late March already. However this

weather pattern is heading us toward a

severe wild fire season this year.

But for right now painting on a lovely

morning in this local marsh was

way past splendid!!

Mallards, Green-wings and Canada's were

working the shallow bog pools

like they meant it.

The sun felt good, real good...

'Lovely pastel morning painting here today. 

The shallow bay was alive 

with diving ducks working the bottom. 

Very warm here on the eve of the day of LOVE...

This was painted last November just as the last

of the colour was about to be blown free 

by the fall winds.

One of the many wonderful things about 

painting plein air is how immediately you

find yourself standing in the spot you painted, 

the moment you look at your painting. 

No matter how long ago that might be...

Beautiful morning out at the ancient lands of 

Scia'new (''the place of the big fish,") today...

The Scia'new First Nations trace their ancestry 

to people who spoke four different languages. 

The community recognizes all four languages 

although they are not all currently spoken.

 The predominant language is now Hul’q’umi’num’.

This was painted last fall with Alf's up on 

Mount Tolmie. Though I have painted there

several times this view was a first for me...

'Towhee Territory'

Last of the November colour
A sunny spot out of the cold breeze
Talking with all the Towhees
They pop out of the cover
Seeking that funny accent
That keeps answering their calls
But its just a bird lover
