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!
No Rush 8 x 10, oil on board
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!
