What better way to spend time than with some dogs on a trail when the sun is low in the sky over the Saanich Peninsula? This was the feeling I tried to capture while painting this commissioned piece.

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.

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.

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.
