'Evening Ferry in the Islands'

'Late on a September afternoon

 with updrafts of August like warmth.

 High on an island mountain cliff 

Turkey Vultures and Ravens passing so close below

 you hear the rush of air through their wings.

Far below in the distance 

the ferries ply their trade, 

but up here on the edge of this glacial sculpture 

the silence tingles on your skin.

The scent of pine and fir warmed by summer like heat

 is thick in the air with Raven talk...

 breath deeply...'

'The Tangled Shoreline'

This piece from a recent painting adventure to 

Saltspring Island will tell you that it is starting

 to feel like fall here in south western BC.

The Big Leaf maples were showing 

lots of colour.

'Saltspring Cove'

This is the time of year when I am usually pretty pumped

and hard at the easel and other art related duties.

Looking back at some of the successes and trying to

put some perspective on the failures. This piece reminds

me to make sure that 'this year' I must paint outside

more than the last, something I really enjoy!

As the rain continues to fall I look forward to each day

I might get out to paint with great anticipation!

(Will it ever stop...jeeze!)

Oil on board 6x8.

Thoughts and comments most welcomed!

'Beach Shadows',(Saltspring Island, the Gulf Islands BC, marine ecosystems paintings)

For many of us the beach or shore of the sea is as close as

we come to seeing how every square inch of this delicate

ecosystem is utilized by marine life. The intertidal zones

are one of the most important areas in the marine ecosystem

and one that should be stridently preserved and protected.

Acrylic on canvas 24 x 30.
