It was an extremely cold and windy March day at Esquimalt Lagoon with the Al Frescoes painting group. Another painter and I tucked ourselves in by some trees on the north end of the bridge. That was great until it started to rain – so I quickly took some photos, and finished this one at home.
The Red Barn is a great place to go with the Al Frescoes painting group. This was a beautiful sunny day in February 2021. I felt inspired to bring a big (approximately 50 x 70 cm) piece of pastel card. I was really pleased with the way it turned out.
Swan Lake is one of my favourite places to walk and to paint. Oh – and to watch birds. It is one of the best places in Victoria to see all kinds of birds – from Cormorants to Great Blue Herons to Mergansers.
