Sunny Day- Botanical Beach Bay

This one is a plein air from yesterday's

adventure to Botanical Beach Park.

It was a gorgeous day of

warm sunshine and fresh ocean air!

On the drive home, just when I thought

the day couldn't possibly get any more glorious

and even before I'd seen the brilliant orange sunset,

I had the good fortune

to see a Northern Pygmy - Owl.

(Seeing a Pygmy - Owl and seeing a movie in 3 - D

are two things that I have experienced

this month that have long been on my

large list of things that I have my heart set on

experiencing in this life time

- I'm having a good month and a good life!)

Chinatown Pine SOLD

Sun Neen Fai Lok! /Happy New Year!

The year of the tiger starts today and Victoria's Chinatown

is decorated in preparation for the

new lunar year celebrations.

All along the streets there are large red lanterns

strung high above the cherry and pine trees.

The color red represents happiness and good luck

and the pine tree represents longevity and endurance.

Having a pine tree on your property

is said to bring good fortune,

(and, according to Linny lore, a painting of one will as well!)

A big thank-you to Bill!

Gold Sky and Firs

This is another from an

outdoor adventure to Highrock Park.

It was on a grey day in early January.

After I returned to the studio the painting's

sky looked too blah, so, the clouds parted

and the gold sky appeared.
