Many people like their wildlife realistic.

other art-minded people like the impressionist style. It's a matter of good taste.

"Pompano Fish" oil on board 8x10

We saw Pompano at the deepfreeze of our local store - highly recommended for eating.

Great colours for an artist. Great for painting loosely.

 

"Sossies" (sausages) oil on board 8x10

I painted these sausages with a single battered brush.

Oil on reclaimed hardboard, coated with gesso.

 

Cooked!

"Sossies" (with a pork chop)

(South African slang for sausages)

I have always wanted to paint like this. But afraid 'cos I know many won't like the style. Loose.

Still, as the song says, I gotta be me...this is tonight's braai (barbecue).

"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"

My current fav place to paint. I'm borrowing styles from Carol Marine and the redoubtable ken Faulks

"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.
