It was a gorgeous, chilly day in late December at Willows Beach when I painted this. After awhile, two women came and sat in the chairs, and they talked together. I had a the thought that the chairs were waiting for them to arrive.
Abkhazi Garden in Victoria, BC is a treasure, to be sure. Our artists group is invited there to paint every year, and to take part in their annual fund raiser.
I painted beside a relaxing pond towards the end of summer. This little frog sat still for the longest time. I like to think she was preparing for the long sleep ahead.
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.
