This piece was painted at Blanket Creek Provincial Park near Revelstoke, BC. The light was lower in the sky and the light coming through the trees was just perfect. There was a dog and his owner walking just ahead of us.
The sandy beach frames the reflection of the west coast sea stack.
An iconic view so typical of the west coast! I had such fun painting this sea stack! It has a strength of beauty all of its own!
This painting is in the Gallery Window Display at the Federation of Canadian Artists Gallery on Granville Island. It is one of 12 coastal themed paintings in the display.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Eyes can tell us so much and are interesting to paint.
The expression on this fellows face was just priceless. He looked like he was asking a question and I just guessing at what it might be. His eyes and marking were were saying it all!
