Great Blue Heron in flight

Somehow, my Sony alpha 550 managed a double exposure. Unexpected, but I think it works.

“Seagirt in Winter” (8”x10” oil on linen panel)
Plein air painting on a blustery day recently - capturing white caps and glancing light from the afternoon sun while the tide rapidly dropped. (Tweaked in the studio.)

At the Surf Pub on Gabriola last night. The people left fairly quickly so it’s a suggestion of them and the space…

Malaspina Galleries Winter, 9”x12” oil on linen panel
The weather was fairly cool and blustery again on Friday when I went out plein air painting.
This distinctive local feature was highlighted by low slanting winter light making it even more beautiful.

This book has been such a bandaid to my heart. It takes place mostly in #gabriolaisland and the way he writes really takes you there. #booksky 📚 💙 I cannot recommend this book enough!

“Solitary Quest” (11” x 14” ink and oil on raised panel)
What it looked like around here last weekend - soft and misty, and the ocean quite calm. There were several oystercatchers out but this one was exploring on its own.

I started to get pretty into drawing in public spaces about 12 years ago in Toronto and I’m still going strong! Here is a sketch from last night on #gabriolaisland at the Surf Pub. Using #copicmarkers and #strathmore paper.
An illustration of two people sitting in a pub in front of a window, one person is looking down at their phone, the other is looking at him. The style is loose and expressive, the colours are blues and oranges.

My favourite shrimp in the #SalishSea: Candy-Striped Shrimp (Lebbeus grandimanus). This one was huge and carrying eggs. Spotted off #GabriolaIsland near #Nanaimo. #scuba
Shrimp with transluscent body and yellow, red, and bright blue stripes on a rock wall, at the base of a pink anemone.

For fall colours here where I live, look down at the ground instead of up at the trees! Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi but occasionally they can be as colourful as the cheeriest flowers. #fungi #mushrooms #GabriolaIsland #PacificNorthwest
Two large, very bright orange gilled mushrooms rise up and fan out, one behind the other, from an uncultivated area of moss, grass and fallen leaves.
