I started this painting in July at this year's Moss Street Paint-In.
The view is looking down Moss Street,
across Dallas Road and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to
the Olympic Mountains of Washington state.
During the month of May both sides Moss Street are lined
with billowy clouds of pink blossoms.
On spring days, such as this one,Victoria-ites
flock to the Dallas Road waterfront
to enjoy the sun, the sights and scents, and the
joyous feel of spring.
(Like a May vacation to Hawaii without having to leave Vancouver Island.)

Hello Katelen,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you found me, too.(Isn't blogland a wonder!) Thank-you for commenting and leaving me with such kind words.
Thank-you for visiting, Marie, and thank-you for your dear comment.

ReplyDeleteLinny, I love the way the sky is dancing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by for a quick dance, Don!
ReplyDeleteAgain love this, think its brilliant as you say you combine reality with a dream world, looks like a very fruitful approach, I am sure I have walked down this street in a dream, its probably an experience thats as meaningful as straight reality, dreams are kind of like looking under the hood of life..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful comment Simon and I like your "looking under the hood of life"-you're exactly right and isn't it amazing how dreams are capable of enlightening our "awakened" selves...if only we look and listen...(and remember!)
