Active Pass - British Columbia Landscape WIP

Okay Okay... So, the other night I mentioned I was going to work on finishing some paintings and not starting new ones. But, I couldn't help it... the rainy weather outside (finally) called out to me to paint a British Columbia landscape... namely one from the 'rainy' season. I didn't quite finish this little guy (I will, I promise, finish it this weekend....), but I have captured the misty morning ocean feel so far. There is nothing more peaceful than riding a ferry through some of the islands in the Active Pass region of the British Columbia coast smelling the misty salty air.

Update on Grapes Painting

My goal of tackling (and finishing) some of the many works in progress is actually going fairly well for me. This past weekend I finished a landscape painting from Vancouver and tonight I did a little bit more on my giant grape painting. The layers are going on slowly but it is starting to take shape.... and... perhaps someday (in the near future) I'll actually finish this one!

Journey Home - Finished

Today I finished this one (and renamed it.... more suiting to when I took the photograph... the long drive home after a trip). It is based on a photograph facing north just south of the Massey Tunnel in Ladner, British Columbia. It was a beautiful summer evening with the sun just setting over the north shore mountains.

Bike Shadows - The Finale!

I just realized this tonight that I never did post a final photograph of Bike Shadows which was actually finished back in January (the last painting completed in Vancouver). Sorry about the poor picture quality.
