Plein Air :: March 11, 2010

I was able to get out for about and hour and a half this afternoon. Nice and cloudy with some rain puddles here and there. I went back to the spot I found near Minnekada Park and it was much different to paint this time around. Everything was much more muted. Froze my fingers off too. :)

Plein Air :: Feb 28, 2010

Aaaaaaah, getting out today was great. Cloudy in the morning but then the sun came out in the afternoon and really warmed everything up.

In the morning I went to Port Moody and painted the boardwalk over a marsh, but ended up forgetting the camera. :(

Next outing took me down the road to Minnekada Park. I was able to find two areas to pull over and paint a couple great scenes. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Plein Air :: Feb 21, 2010

I was able to get away in the morning to a location in Minnekada Park just in town. Great view of distant mountains with the sun shining down on me.

The aerial perspective got the better of me today, but to learn from it I will correct the values after it dries. All pressure is off with these painting when you think of them as a learning tool instead of finished paintings.

 

Kunamokst :: Unveiled

The Kunamokst mural was unveiled last Saturday, the 13th, at the West Vancouver Spirit Square in West Vancouver.

I was unable to attend the event, but I heard it went over really well. I look forward to visiting it when it moves to Galiano Island.

The mural was a collaboration of 180 artists painting individual panels that measured 12×12" each. In total the mural is 21 x 11 feet. It must be spectacular to see in person.
