"Macauley Point Path" oil 9x12

I went painting en plein air but forgot to take my tripod-easel, so I parked my paintbox on a truncated stump. Nature is wonderful.

"Mt.Doug Beach" acrylic 9x12

I stepped onto the beach, turned and saw this sliver of light lying on the sand, it was against the light and it shimmered. Oompha kadoompha (Wilsonese speak), done!

'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.

'Spring Sky Highrock'

Those wonderful April clouds are 

drifting through our spring skies along

 with the Swallows, Turkey Vultures and Warblers...

If the light is sad or bad, concentrate on a compelling composition then paint at least three distinct values.
