Musings

The brightest rainbow ever, doubled!

Back home to west coast drizzle and cloud, dreaming of the amazing skies we saw in France...

Nothing local to post as we have been traveling this month. I chose this photo for the suggestion of classic European elegance.

And two photos of Paris, the first advertising French fashion alongside the River Seine and the second the Louvre reflected at night:

The Sidney Fine Art Show opens on Friday, October 18th and runs through Sunday, October 20th at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney, B.C. Find further details at www.sidneyfineartshow.ca.

I am delighed that the two images shown here - "Secret Garden" and "Shoreline" - have been juried into this year's show.

If it wasn't for islands on the horizon, it would be difficult to separate sea and sky in this late summer photograph.

Fall is still a couple of weeks away but after the longest dry summer we've had in years, fog and clouds are creeping in to mask the sun. Here early evening sun creates a sky rainbow.

I have added a New Works gallery to my website and will update it on a regular basis. In addition, I am doing 3-dimensional work and have created a Mixed Media gallery to showcase pieces fashioned using pebbles and shells. Some of my new mixed media pieces are currently on display at the Red Tree Gallery on Pender Island, and some of my current black and white work is being shown in Talisman Books and Gallery, also on Pender Island, until September 14th.

This photo won the prize for best Victoria photo in the Clipper Vacations photo contest.

As mentioned in my previous post, I am now working in mixed media. To design and fashion each piece is to simultaneously create and solve a puzzle. Below I show "Rock Wave" as a whole, followed by a close-up image.
