Landscape Paintings of Victoria and Vancouver Island by Mike Lathrop
We saw the clouds on the horizon late in the day, and jumped into the kayaks to paddle out to see them illuminated in the warm light of the sunset take it in on this still summer night in Parksville.

I am pleased to announce that my artwork is on display at the beautiful Sidney Pier Hotel, on the water at the end of Beacon Avenue in Sidney BC at 9805 Seaport Place. The show will be up until the end of April, 2022.
Since 1885, a lighthouse has stood on this site to mark the Eastern end of Active Pass, and has made it easier and safer to navigate from Vancouver to Victoria by sea.
As I write this, the original is available for local pickup in Victoria before Christmas.

I painted this using a photo I took at Sunrise, on the Ferry on the way to Vancouver from my home in Victoria. The ferry offers a spectacular way to take in sunsets and sunrises, juxtaposed against the changing seascape of the gulf islands
This is part of a series of small paintings in which I’ve been experimenting with the use of texture with heavy body acrylic gel medium.

Westwood Lake is close to Nanaimo; a shining jewel lined with arbutus trees in a green valley. We paused by the shore to take in the view, and skip a few rocks into the lake this early summer’s day.
