This was painted during Arts and Culture Colwood Society’s Insight Festival. The festival offers artists the chance to take part in a plein air competition. I’m pleased to say my piece won the Juror’s 2nd Place prize!

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!
The month of June brought record high temperatures to Victoria, BC. Today many of us clustered under the trees as we painted the sun-drenched landscape.
