Summer on the Big Lake

As the Christmas cards arrive

I'm enjoying a summertime flashback

to an August Linnyland swimming, painting,

 swimming, picnicking,

swimming, boating, 

swimming adventure

 at Cowichan Lake.

One Day Last Summer

This studio piece grew from,

'Late Afternoon - Lake Cowichan'

an en plein air painting from an

"one day last summer adventure" to Cowichan Lake.

(It was the afternoon that I swam amongst the

orange bellied newts.)

It's entirely possible that me painting this painting

may have inadvertently caused summer weather

to linger longer here in Victoria;

I was able to have breaky out on the deck

on the 4th of November - unheard of in our climes!

(Oddly, now that the painting is finished

the autumn weather has started...)

Summer Morning - Lake Cowichan SOLD

Last week

I enjoyed an up island

adventure to Lake Cowichan with

fellow, fellow painter

Jeffrey J. Boron.

We arrived at a quiet spot on the lake

early in the day and I painted this little one

before my first swim.

Summer Afternoon - Lake Cowichan SOLD

Last week I was away to Cowichan Lake

for a camping trip

and after a gorgeous day of lake swimming

I set up my easel to paint.

This view is from the Gordon Bay Provincial Park

looking across the lake towards

Honeymoon Bay.

When this little one was done I dove in for

one more swim!
