A study was done plein air in preparation for this larger painting. Sunny days in the canyons on parts of the Capilano River offer wonderful views of light and shadow. This was one of those days!!
Painted plein air on the river bank of McKay Creek in North Vancouver in Opus’s Plein Air Challenge 2016. It did not win any prizes, but I was happy with the little piece.
Painted plein air on a particularly windy day on the bluff above Second Beach in Stanley Park.
Painted from a photo I took in the Callaghan Valley when I was out cross country skiing. The little tree was in the perfect position to be catching the last light of the day. This piece was at the Federation of Canadian Artists Gallery.
This little painting always reminds me of Pooh Bear talking to Piglet in A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh books. “March winds blow!…and Pooh said, Hang on Piglet”.
