Henry the Heron 6x6 acrylic on cradled panel

SOLD

This is Henry the Heron, year round resident of Beacon Hill Park. He came right up to me and posed. I caught his expression. I'm told that he's been a resident of Beacon Hill Park since he fell from his nest 15 years ago and people from a nearby apartment rescued him.

Last night's scene from the corner of Government Street and Humbolt. Nice, eh.

It was cold and snowy today and I didn't even poke my head outdoors.  I did this based on a small sketch from an alfresco paint out the other day at mount doug. That morning was rainy and there was a pinkness to everything.

Winter Evening Holland Point, 8x10 acrylic

It snowed today, a rarity in Victoria in November.

Gonzales Park View, 8x10 acrylic

This morning's effort at the Gonzales Park Observatory. It was cold and gray but the stoic Alfrescoes were there painting away.
I was at the Emily Carr exhibit yesterday. Can you see the influence?

Ogden Point November Evening, 8x10, acrylic

sold

I did this this evening just as the sun was setting.

Here's the pleinair I did yesterday with the Alfrescoes. It's 16X20, acrylic. I felt influenced by Emily Carr and I wanted to do one in her style. But the plein air fell short of that so I used the sketch to create one after her style today in my studio.


I like it. I can sure see Emily's art in the landscape.
