572 Autumn Forest, Mount Doug

sold

It was back to Mount Doug today. A lovely day, raining lightly, not too cold.   The moss was such a bright green, the maple leaves orange red and burnt sienna, and the snow berries on their bare slim branches seemed to dance in the air. I felt enchanted today surrounded by all this beauty.

Emily Carr painter here as well. In 1942 She claimed to have had a vision that inspired her to paint at Mount Doug Park.  She said she felt the forest had something to tell her. This is where she painted her last works which were both mystical and enchanting.

Here's a photo of my setup in situ.

506 Fonyo Beach Day

Okay, yes this is my favourite spot. I love the curve of the beach. I also love that I can paint people in and they don't notice me doing it.   The cliffs are covered with wild gorse and sweet pea right now.
