Golden Times

This one is from a recent

Linnyland painting demonstration

that I gave for the enthusiastic Oak Bay Art Club.

The painting is of a store in their Oak Bay

neighbourhood called the Demitasse Bakery Store.

After the demo the members of the group told me

that, as well as taking them back to their childhood,

they were certain that they would never be able to drive by this

little store and look at it in the same way.

And, those are good things, yes?

The Edge SOLD

This one "grew" from a smaller

Cowichan Lake plein air adventure painting.

These trees on the edge of the clearing

reminded me of a group of long legged, knobbly knee-ers

gathering strength from their togetherness.

This one is from one of my recent demos;

'Victoria artist Linny D. Vine will

be demonstrating the steps that she takes

in creating a "Linnyland landscape"...

She will show how she combines colour, composition,

light, and imagination to create her paintings.

Linny's distinctive painting style

colours her urban and landscape scenes

with a magical mix of joy and light.

Whether painting in studio or en plein air,

Linny skillfully combines spirit of place

with her uniquely expressive brushwork

to create paintings of happiness.

You can view her work at www.linnydvine.com.'

Westsong View

After the ice crystal adventure (see last post)

an unexpected and unusual snow storm arrived in Victoria.

A few days afterwards on a cold but sunny afternoon

fellow, fellow artist Jeffrey J. Boron and I ventured out

on an extreme, (for Victoria), painting adventure.

I was hoping to paint a snow scene

along the Westsong walkway, instead I found

a sunny spot out of the wind.

Even though I didn't have a snowy view I was

toasty as I faced south towards the Olympic Mountains

and the warmth of the sun.

Winter Sky - Holland Point

This one is from a recent

ocean side adventure to Holland Point (Victoria, BC)

with fellow, fellow artist, Jeffrey J. Boron.

We set up our easels under a sunny February sky

and started to paint.

As I blocked in the shoreline shapes I was

aware that the sky had darkened but

the air temperature still felt warm.

While I darkened the sky in the painting

the temperature changed to cool.

Then, as I painted in the rocks and started on the water

the air temperature became cold.

I put in a few more strokes as ice crystals started to fall.

We packed up our gear and...
