A day at the Beach, acrylic on canvas, 8x10

It was the most glorious day at the beach. There were a few clouds over Esquimalt but clear on our side of the water.
Lately I've been studying color theory but when I began my painting I was like a child today and the theory went out the window. Still, I think it's a charming impressionistic painting.

Pond Edge (Historical Acres, Saanich BC), oil 6x8in

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.

Have I crossed the line into abstract?

June Sky in Victoria


This morning I was inspired by the gorgeous June sky. So instead of heading straight for the causeway I went to the seaside with my easel.

St Stephen's Chruch

A very quick study of St Stephen's Church today with the AlFrescoes. St Stephen's is magical with wild  flowers and lovely old trees with wild moss clinging to the branches.
