"Fulford Farm"

Another Linnyland painting from 

another Saltspring/Salt Spring Linnyland painting adventure.
While I painted a small audience gradually gathered; first a woman visiting SSI on her annual writer's retreat, then one popsicle eating child, then two more, then a father and a sculptor sprawled on the ground next to the easel, and finally a neighbour and her children joined them - and me.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada! 
May you and your gathering enjoy.

"Cusheon Lake Colors"

Just home from a Saltspring/Salt Spring Island 

Linnyland swimming/painting/swimming/painting/

swimming/swimming/swimming/swimming adventure... 

this one was from the very end of the day with

 a view of the very end of the lake, 

at the (almost) very end of summer. 

It was so dark while I packed my paints 

that the bats were already swooping and 

the little tree frog was headed

out for the night...

"Winter's Retreat - Lac Le Jeune"

From a recent Kamloops bound,

Linnyland painting adventure; 

a most surreal experience to paint

 in hazy, HOT HEAT

 next to an ICE covered lake,

 with tree swallows, two ospreys, and a marmot

 as an audience.

Afternoon Visit - Gabriola Island

On a sunny day in October I enjoyed my first,

 (slightly shorter than planned), Linnyland painting adventure

to beautiful Gabriola Island.

Unfortunately, I was five minutes too late

 for my intended ferry which meant that I could either explore the whole island and not paint (hah!) or see half of the island and paint.

So, on another sunny day, I'll visit the other half

 of the "friendly islanders' island" and when I do

I'll be certain to start my adventure a wee bit earlier.

Songhees Summer Saunter

In between commissions and summer adventuring

I just realized that this one didn't get posted.

It's from "a few whiles ago" summer morning Linnyland painting

adventure along Victoria's Songhees walkway,

(in between a condo building & the Spinaker's Restaurant),

and looking across to Fisherman's Wharf.
