'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...

Alla Prima work: "Teenage Tusker"

Not plein air but certainly an Alla Prima work - 6x6 inches.

"Yellow Chair" pastel

We rescued a yellow chair from the dump bin, a friend suggested we turn it into a pot stand on our deck!

A quick pastel sketch.

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...

"Bird light" marker on oil underpainting

Marker pen (Sharpie) 3 1/8" x 5 7/8"

How to use off cuts from truncated canvas boards! Fun. Patterns in the sky. Poles apart. I could use any of these titles but I confess to this being an ALLA PRIMA piece - there's no correcting if you just do it. Plein Air artists do it in the open whereas Alla Prima artists do it all at once.....
