Landscape

The expanse of the west coast beaches always impresses every time I go there!

A windy day when the trees on the little island out in the lake were hanging on for all they were worth!  A very pleasurable day painting plein air beside a lake.

A lovely little tree covered islet.  The west coast is dotted with tiny islets that have existed for centuries standing strong.

Capturing the colours of the sky at the end of the day are often the reason I paint.  This is the  entrance to the to one of  British Columbia’s still water, safe anchorages.   This was painted from a photo I took a few years back when we did a lot of boating.

The iconic land forms sitting on the horizon against the beautiful colours of the sunset and the vastness of beach never cease to amaze me!

This scene brought a smile to my face as a funny moment in time!  Of all the places to cross the road the Canada Goose chose the cross walk and took its sweet time crossing the road!  This was on Beach Avenue.

I was painting at Van Dusen Botanical Gardens May 1 and the Narcissus were so fresh and beautiful.   The white against the green stems and leaves really caught my attention!  

Painted on a local beach as the warm colours of the evening sky came into view!

Point Grey and the University buildings are silhouetted by the beautiful sunset colours of the evening sky!

Lovely Stearman Beach has a unique little creek that runs to the beach from the mountains.  The little creek makes for creative water patterns on the beach.
