"The Christmas Day Miracle Walk 2014"

As you may recall, one of our holiday traditions 

 is the "Christmas Day Miracle Walk".

While the festive meal cooks we enjoy a walk

 where we look for Christmas miracles and most often

 discover them in nature.

For this year's CDMW the weather was sunny and 

unseasonably warm - miracle number one!

As we wander the shoreline of Saxe Point Park 

we spy a trio of otters just off shore. 

One of the otters swims towards us and comes ashore 

with a large crab in it's mouth.

While the onshore otter feasts the other two otters 

swim around the point and out of sight.

Once the meal is finished the single otter returns 

to the sea and starts to search and call for the other two. 

Before long the otter calls sound more distressed 

and still the other two otters are no where in sight. 

The single otter swims back and forth along the shoreline,

it's calls louder and louder. 

Finally the two missing otters reappear from around the point, 

the single otter spies them and calls once more, 

the three enjoy a playful reunion before they swim away.

Another Christmas, another magical CDMW!

Hope yours was magical, too!

"Robert Amos, Victoria art writer, includes Linny D. Vine painting on Christmas Wish List!"

Tickled to be on the "Christmas Wish List "

of Victoria Art Writer, Robert Amos!

--from "Art Tips: Tips for putting art under the tree"--

Dec 6, 2014 Times Colonist, Victoria BC Canada:

..."West End Gallery made it hard to choose 

(1203 Broad St,. 250-388-0009, westendgallery.com). 

I love their more whimsical work - 

Paul Chester's extruded townscapes, Linny D. Vine's

wonky local scenes in high-key colour, 

and Grant Leier's homilies set in a garnish

 of liberated graphic design. 

There was just one joyous canvas

 of flowers by Claude A. Simard of Quebec. 

Simard has gone to the big studio in the sky."...
