"Summer Solstice Evening"

The Summer Solstice Linnyland painting adventure 

tradition continues... and last night's adventure was full

of action; Swallow and Turkey Vulture swoops, 

Kingfisher chatter, 

fly-bys from Goldfinch, Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, Quail & Osprey,

 a few sprinkles of rain and eventually big winds. 

Winds so BIG that just before the "paint fast finale" 

there was a "butter side down in the bushes" incident, 

for the painting (not me), then a quick rescue. 

HaPpY Summer!! HaPpY Adventures!!

"Reefer"

Blue Moon Week in Linnyland included; 

studio time (stay tuned...), 

a wee Linnyland painting adventure where, 

as I zoomed in on an old ship 

(that rumour has, will be sunk to create a diving reef), 

the many "lookers" who wandered by included 

the trio of Lorenzo the dog, Blue Eyed Daughter 
and her Blue Eyed Father

 (who was a Robert Genn doppelganger if I ever saw one 

-- although I have no idea of Robert Genn's eye color) 

and who shared samplings of their freshly 

picked (dark blue) blackberries, a swimming adventure 

in the blue-green waters of Secret Lake with Otters, 

blue Dragonflies and a blue-grey Kingfisher, 

the scent of Sweet Grass, 

blue skies of swooping Swallows, 

a meadow of Queen Anne's Lace, 

more blue skies this time full of Turkey Vultures, 

and another swim under a blue sky in the blue-green waters 

of Not A Secret Lake

 and last night's orange Blue Moon!

Spring Evening - East Point Park SOLD

After my instant sell out

at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's

Christmas Small Works Show

I decided to paint two more smallish paintings.

(These are slightly larger than the work

that I had in the AGGV Small Works Show.)

Both paintings are from a visit to

East Point Park on Saturna Island

where I have memories of a kingfisher

flying back and forth along the beach

on that warm May evening.
