Evening Sky - Highrock

This little one is from a few whiles ago.

I was at Highrock Park in the late afternoon

and the pillowcase clouds lined up in a row

and said, "Hey, Linny, paint us!"

November Light - Highrock Park

This one is from an earlier in November adventure to

Highrock Park in Esquimalt with fellow fella painter,

Jeffrey Boron.

Jeffrey has claimed thatthere are easily 100 paintings

to be painted in this park and I'm in agreement

- so, that means 200, doesn't it?!

We painted at the park on one of the few November days

that had any sort late afternoon light...only 21 more days until

Winter Solstice and then the light starts it's return.

Autumn Oaks - Highrock Park SOLD

I've been busy with preparations

for my November solo show,

LINNY at LARGE,

at the Mercurio Gallery

but on Saturday morning it was so sunny

and warm that I snuck out for a

plein air adventure to one of

the parks in my neighbourhood.

The sky clouded over while I was painting

but the temperature stayed warm

and as the clouds moved in I became more and more fond

of the combination of green moss, golden Garry oak leaves,

and all of the different blues and greys

of the rocks, mountains and sky.

Some of the large rock formations at Highrock Park

look as though they are sculptures that have been

carefully placed and arranged

to accentuate the views of

the Strait of Juan de Fuca and

the Olympic Mountains,

(and maybe they have!)
