Valhalla Homestead

                             Valhalla Homestead, 8x10in. oil on birch panel, June 9 2015

One of my favourite spots

                                          Above Slocan, 16x20in. oil on canvas, May 2 2015


I really like this spot to paint from. I am high up on a bluff, way above the water, and getting a really interesting angle of repose from here. I love the way the wind and water make S shapes on the water surface, how the sounds of people in boats carry up toward me, how the crows and ravens are always checking me out as they float past the bluffs.

                A progression

Bannock Falls

                                   Bannock Falls, 16x20in. oil on canvas, April 27 2015

A most excellent day painting and jawing with my friend Sandy Stevenson,  I regaled him with many a story about my trip south, my views on the world, and we compared notes on some painting ideas.
And I managed to squeak out this painting, despite spending all that time talking at poor Sandy, who endured my rants and raves with a smile. All in all, a very good day indeed.
