The Spirit Of Nature Reflecting

"The Spirit Of Nature Reflecting"

12" x 12" Oil on Gessobord

#20030119

I haven't painted on Gessobord for a long time and forgot how smooth and slippery it was. I really enjoyed painting this one with the early morning colours as the mist was lifting. The photo reference was along the Eagle River in Sicamous, B.C.

Morning Flow

This is a larger painting than I normally do plein air but with all the colours in the water and parts of the wet sand bar showing I felt the larger format necessary. I went to the back of "Joe Schmucks" restaurant and campground to have a look and there was no one camping in one spot so I quietly set up my easel and immersed myself in the view. It was challenging to paint such a large size with the light changing so quickly in the early morning.

Shuswap Villas View #2

This is the second plein air painting that I have painted from the deck at the Shuswap Villas in Sicamous B.C. a couple of weeks ago. The view is large and too much to fit in one canvas so I painted the end of what I could see of the beach beside the Eagle River. This is my view, easel set up and the painting in progress.

View from Shuswap Villas

This plein air was painted with an almost aerial view from the Shuswap Villas deck in Sicamous B.C. The deck is on a rock bluff with the view of the lakes and Eagle River mouth far below. Even though this one was painted on site, I decided to do a larger format (16" x 20") and was amazed how much more time it took. I was really happy with my easel set up as I could easily move to keep out of the sun.
