Workin' the Shadows

This has been an excellent year for trillium, the woodland sparkles with them.  They are starting to fade into purple now but this spider is helping spread their pollen for future springs. 

Wild Apples

Here's another go at these yummy apples from my neighbors tree.

Complements

Who knew I'd have so much fun painting vegetables?!  These are the most adorable little eggplants cuddled up to a "lemon boy" tomato.  I may have to revisit another complementary pair for tomorrows post.  Stay tuned....

Bending the Corner

I thought this would be quick and easy, it wasn't.  :-I  Guess I have to give the horse and rider their due since they were working hard to make a balanced and elegant circle.  She makes it look easy, doesn't she?

Potential

Young Rainier, a mophead full of life and enjoying every minute of it.

Sea Floor with Bats

This is about as abstract as I get.  The sea floor, and rocks and any solid surface is covered with life in the channel at Burnaby Narrows in the Queen Charlottes.  A perfect spot to kayak but it was a challenge not to tip over while ogling all the colorful sea critters.   

Mobbed

This is my neighbor and all her "kids".  It's so great to live right next to a big, old fashioned farm with all kinds of critters.  They are joining the local "FarmFest" open house tour of farms here on the Key Peninsula in early October.  I'll be posting a few more paintings of the goats, chickens, horses, cows, sheep etc. and will be setting up to do some plein air painting at the event.  Should be great fun!
