This is the Coast Guard Boat in Patricia Bay. It was quite an overcast day, mostly. The brightest thing around was this big red boat. I think it turned out pretty nice against the blue sky and water. I tried to make as few strokes as possible. (Though I wasn't counting).

I did this little oil today with the Alfrescoes at the Historical Acres in Saanich. There were lots of old tractors to paint but I felt drawn by the yellow irises at the edge of the pond.
