Landscape Paintings of Victoria and Vancouver Island by Mike Lathrop
I’m pleased to announce I’ll be showing my work at the Victoria Public Library Central Branch for 6 weeks, Nov 3 – Dec 15, 2017.
The paintings will be in view from the courtyard at the library at 735 Broughton St, Victoria BC, or come inside for a closer look!
After a long week or two of a grey, otherworldly sky due to smoke from wildfires in British Columbia, finally it started to clear, and looking up we could see blue sky, and the shapes of clouds again. When the sun set, it cast rays through the clouds in the smoke that still lingered. There was relief in the air. The sky had returned.
Prints and the original painting available are available here.
I am pleased to announce some of my work has been selected to be in the 2017 Sidney Fine Art Show.
I’m particularly gratified by this because one of the Jurors, Mike Svob, is an artist whose landscape paintings, rich in texture and colour, are a big inspiration for me.
The show will be at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney BC, October 13-15.
I am not sure which painting or paintings were chosen at this point, More details to follow!
Every time I am on the ferry returning home to Vancouver Island I breathe a sigh of contentment when the ferry docks in the terminal. I always enjoy watching the scenery change on the ferry; there is a slow transformation of surroundings, from malls and the coal terminal to the trees and rocky beaches of the gulf islands. This painting depicts islands that can be seen from the ferry just before it docks in Swartz Bay.
Prints and the original painting are available here.
The Moss Street Paint-In is just one week away!
The Artist Map is now available here. You can find me at Moss and George St.
See you there!
