Dallas Road Scene 2, oil on panel, 6x6

SOLD
I painted the same pathway on Dallas Road as the other day. I am inspired by this scene. Drawn to it. Maybe I'll paint the same path but from the bottom next time.
One of the things I enjoy most about plein air painting is all the personalities that come by for a visit.
It was such a fine day that those people on the beach took off their shirts and went for a dip.

This little gem is on an internet auction at a starting bid of $49 plus shipping and handling.

Fonyo Beach Scene, oil on panel, 6x6

SOLD
It was another glorious sunny September day in Victoria. This is a painting of Fonyo Beach. I love painting the S-curves. They take the eye gently and smoothly through the painting.
At the top of this hill where I stood to paint this little gem there is a fork in the road. I always stand there and look down. There is a clear view of the beach below. People are always there. Resting, gathering, talking.  It is a natural gathering place. I imagine people have gathered there for thousands of years.  There is always nice dry sun washed driftwood to lean against.

Dallas Road Scene, 6x6 oil on panel

Coyote's Path (SOLD)
It was another glorious September day here in Victoria. I had been wanting to paint this view for a long time. I like the way the sun strikes the concrete wall with the wild sweet peas spilling over it. I am pleased with it over all.

I've been working on this painting for this Sunday's paint out at the Empress. I just love the Empress!

Towards Ogden Point, 6x6 oil on canvas board

sold
I did this little gem with the Alfrescoes this morning. When we arrived at Holland Point we were greeted by a thick fog. But it didn't last long. That's Ogden Point with the little light house.
