It was a dull day on the road to Tofino so at Crystal Cove Beach I added a drop of Wilson colour.

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...

Landscape 2 - "Foggy from Cattle Point" MD Sansom

The painting shown here is quite small. Oil on board, sited at Cattle point looking landward on a very foggy morning. Quite a touch of mystery, leaving the viewer much to imagine.

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...'

Yew Tree farm - watercolour and pencil 8x10

This Blog is mostly about plein air works - indeed this is one that I painted in England a few months ago. Yew Tree Farm - our hostess told us that Prince Charles stays here occasionally. She didn't divulge any more snippets about that. Privacy and privilege of course. I wonder if Coll and I got the same room though?
