Landscape Paintings of Victoria and Vancouver Island by Mike Lathrop
At a campsite in Goldstream Provincial Park, my 5 year old son, sitting at the picnic table, pointed straight up and said, “Dada, DADA! You should paint that.”
It is humbling to look up at those trees, at once intimidated and protected by them. It reminds me of what grownups looked like to me when I was little. We were all little once, and in a forest like this one, we all still are.
The original has sold, but limited edition prints are available here.
I am pleased to announce that some of my work will be included at the 2017 Cedar Hill Artists exhibition, Dec 13-31 at the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill.
Just a quick post to let you know that I’ll be able to fulfill print orders for pickup in Victoria before Christmas if they are ordered before Tuesday, Dec 12.
If you need prints or originals delivered outside of Victoria, BC before Christmas, please let me know where you are as soon as possible and I’ll do my darnedest to find a way to get your order to you before the 25th.
We watched the sunset as we walked the trails around Beaver Lake in the long October twilight. The clouds stayed largely the same, but the light and their colour changed minute to minute. Clouds can’t be touched; they are just water vapour. But they have their own world up there, and their substance appears so real that my intuition just can’t be convinced.
Giclee Prints are available for sale here.
Just a quick post to remind you that the opening for my show at the Central Branch of the library is tomorrow night (Wednesday Nov 15th).
Come by, see my paintings, and say hello!
