Johnson Street Bridge - oil 8x10 plein air
This is Victoria's new bridge which replaces the old Johnson Street Blue Bridge. My plein air outing took place in perfect weather, I had my Van Gogh wide brim straw hat and sunscreen, a long sleeve shirt and shorts. Wow. Lookout Clint Eastwood!
I painted the new bridge from a spot on Centennial Park (not to be confused with Centennial SQUARE). Google it, it is in Victoria BC.
How do I feel painting in the open air? Rejuvenated, fulfilled. What I am placed on this earth for. The only game in town. Setting up the easel is a ritual performance in a very good way. Onlookers don't bother me, as long as you keep the covid-19 distance and don't distract me from the work. What wonderful work painting is.

Constable's Haywain scene painted today - oil 8x10 inches
Instead of a hay wagon (haywain) I found a duck in the pond of Willie Lott's house, Compare with the original by John Constable, very little has changed. My impressionist style differs from the master of course.

"Stadacona Park Bench" oil on canvas board 8 x 10 inches
Spend a little rejuvenation time in a city park, keen among the green. 20 minutes will do ya. If longer buy the little painting - available and affordable. Try me.
