Twilight at Active Pass

There was a movement in the skies that I sometimes percieve and try to convey when I paint. I am inspired by Emily Carr, and particularly the way she painted movement in the sky. I took the photo I used for reference for this painting while passing through Active Pass on the ferry, between Galiano and Mayne Islands.

The original 12×12″ Acrylic on Canvas painting has sold, but prints are available for purchase here: https://thefeelingoftheplace.com/portfolio/twilight-at-active-pass/

Wandering in the Sunset at Layritz

When I’m not painting, I might be playing disc golf, which is like the other kind, but with a frisbee and without all the landscaping. There is a terrific course that rambles through the brush and meadows at Layritz park, and it was well situated for me to pause and enjoy a September sunset while my comrade and I were searching for his disc in the waning twilight.

I am pleased to announce that this painting will be one of 5 of my works in Julie Veenstra’s Square Foot Show, opening on June 29th. Pieces in this show often sell out fast; you can register for a 48 hour pre-show preview here: https://squarefootshow.com/

Prints are available now, and if I still have it after the show, the original 12×12″ acrylic on canvas painting will also be available for purchase here: https://thefeelingoftheplace.com/portfolio/wandering-in-the-sunset-at-layritz/

Warm Light on the Salish Sea

One of the delights of living on Vancouver Island is the ferry trip one inevitebly takes to the mainland once in a while. I took the reference photo for this painting while watching the swiftly changing light patterns on the small islands, cruising by on an summer evening.
