Ashley's lily

For Christmas a few years ago, Ashley wanted me to paint her a lily. This is her choice of image & colour. I enjoyed doing this for her. I took this picture of the painting in her house tonight. We had a lovely evening together. We went to her dog, Jewel's sniffing course. Very interesting.

Englishman Falls

Frank & I were walking around that provincial park 2 weeks ago. When you use the footbridge across the upper falls you can hear, see & feel the power of the water cascading over the rocks, falling down into the crevice far below. Fascinating. The painting is about 1/2 finished. The rocks in the foreground & left side need to have the layers of green built up for the moss. The water needs it's highlights. In a few days, I'll post another picture of how the painting is shaping up. Ps. I have a new easel

More surf

Bringing more white water in on this one. I almost feel like I'm there on those rocks in the foreground, ready to run for safety!

More strokes along the way

Getting closer to hang above the fireplace.

Sand dunes

Having great fun thinking of when Frank & I were younger, dating & living in Ucluelet. Many of our dates were with family & friends on the beaches in the area. Great memories.
