"Spirit Meadows" was one of the properties where we painted up at Big Bar Lake back in June. Floyd and Jeannie were very generous in letting us paint from their back deck and Yes, this is the amazing view they get to enjoy every single day!! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous spot!

This is one was painted on a quiet afternoon on the East side of Okanogan Lake.  We don't have Scotch Pine in Victoria so I really notice the distinctive colour of the bark and its needles. Beautiful colour!
I had a wonderful time at the Moss Street Paint In last Saturday! Thank you to everyone that came, visited, commented, encouraged and/or  purchased! Your support is always so appreciated!

Este cuadro lo pinté una tarde muy tranquila en el lado este del Lago Okanogan. No tenemos pino escocés en Victoria, asi que realmente noto los colores diferentes de la corteza del tronco y las agujas.
La pasé bárbaro en la pintada de Moss Street el sábado pasado! Gracias a todos los que pararon,comentaron, alentaron y/o compraron. Su apoyo es siempre tan apreciado!

I am ready! The 2018 TD Art Gallery Paint In is finally here and I am excited to be a part of it! Each year I do a mock up of my set up in the driveway so that  I know exactly where everything goes when I show up on Saturday morning, there's no deciding where each painting goes or where to put things, all this helps me reduce the stress levels the morning of the event! Over 170 Artists will be at this wonderful outdoor event, you will be able to see many kinds of art, demos and for sure find something to your liking. I'm including a full map and tips for visitors below. I will be artist 116 on Moss Street between May and George.  It is closer to Dallas Rd than to Fort St. The event goes from 11 to 4. Hope to see you there!

Last Early June, I went painting in the interior of our province as I have done the last couple of years. This particular afternoon had busy skies with a storm that kept skirting around but didn't get us! It only started sprinkling a bit as we were packing up!

A comeinzos de Junio fui a pintar al interior de la provincia como he echo estos dos ultimos años. En esta tarde en particular había una tormenta dando vueltas que al final no se largó! Solo empezó a gotear un poco cuando estabamos juntando todo al final!

Moving and Invitation to 2018 Moss Street Paint In

I have been quite silent here for a while and in stead of trying to explain and getting you all caught up, I'll just pick up where we left and keep going. I want to start blogging from my own website blogging capabilities instead of blogger where I have been for many years so I'll publish the same post on  both for a while until I do the permanent move. If you receive my posts in your inbox there's no need to do anything yet.I will just start doing it instead of waiting to have everything sorted out and organized, sometimes if we wait for everything to be perfect, things never happen!

So with that, I'd just like to invite you all to please join me at the 31st TD Art Gallery Paint-In! Over 190 artists will bring their studio to Moss Street this coming Saturday July 21– and I'm excited to have been selected to be one of them!

I will be artist #116 on the artist map which will be on the East side of Moss St, between May and George, at approx. 119 Moss St. Please come and say hi, it will be great to meet you and/or see you again! For more information please visit: TD Art Gallery Paint In.
