This painting was created at the Insight Festival at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse NHS at part of the plein air painting competition. It was a beautiful day with a hazy summer sky.
It was a wonderful day at Langford for their first annual celebration of Canada Day! I had the chance to paint lots of people and interact with them too – especially kids who wanted to be put in the painting.
This one felt just right! One of my painting friends came up to me and suggested it was time to stop! This is a problem for many artists and something to keep in mind when painting.
When we took a tour of the lovely Abkhazi Garden in the spring of 2022 our guide told us that this was the garden that love built. It is a beautiful spot to visit. Artists are welcome to come and paint there Monday-Thursday!
Playfair Park is an incredible place for flowers! From the camas to the rhododendrons to the fawn lilies – this spot never ceases to please the artist’s eye.
