"Dallas Road Cliff, Rail Fence" oil on stretched canvas 16" x 20"
Oil sketch above, actual photo below.
This scene is most visited by local Victorians in BC. A lot of dog owners let their pets run hassle-free, and artists love it for the many scenes to paint in the area.
My family says my painting isn't finished but I know it is because when artists have realized their intentions - it's DONE!

"Rocks & bush, Cattle Point" gouache postcard size
"Rocks & bush, Cattle Point"
My current fav place to paint. I'm borrowing styles from Carol Marine and the redoubtable ken Faulks
while trying to sustain my own way of working. (Better artists always help me by just being there...)

or other greats I chose this this ball kid.

"House in the Fraser Valley" postcard size, gouache
"House in the Fraser Valley"
Gouache is like watercolour but has more body, giving a nice flat opaque appearance. I am doing well with it now after a few first tentative attempts.
And this image comes from my own visit to this exciting part of British Columbia. I hope you enjoy the vision before you.

"Coco" gouache postcard size 2021
Beloved pet of the Ingbritsons, Coco was quite a character - almost a mensch, one could say...
Painted with my new set of gouache paints. I'm getting used to the new medium now.

"BMW 3-Wheeler" postcard size
"Alongside" oil 24 x 30
Neighbours at anchor in the Pacific Northwest. The weather is good, the winds are calm for good sailing. We are out of the shallows and we are safely in the bay, flags flying.

"Blue VW" gouache
Experimenting with my brand-new gouache paint I did this Blue Volksie today - I like the matt finish of this paint, it looks as though it was done with chalk - such is the opacity of the paint.
I like it. Postcard size.

Push Colour exercise
"Push Colour"
Gouache postcard size.
Gail Sibley posted in How to Pastel a technique to change a boring image into something a lot more vibrant.
I followed her suggestion using my new gouache paints although it would work well in any medium.

"Blue Jib"
"Blue Jib"
Carol Marine uses oils and gouache. This latter medium sounds great so I bought myself a set from Amazon (very quick delivery) and set about using it on plain MDF, no canvas or gesso. I was surprised how quickly it dried into a nice mat finish. Click to enlarge the image.

The Craigdarroch Castle Spire seen from my 3rd floor apartment in Fort Street Victoria BC, Canada
From our breakfast table I looked out over Fort Street, with the spire of Craigdarroch Castle in the distance. I don't worry about the electric wires. They bring light.
