Canadian Holiday

12 x 9"  Acrylic on canvas

This painting is from a photograph I took while visiting Victoria, BC, a few years ago. It was a short visit so I had no idea exactly where we might be, except at a cottage by the water. This scene has kept my interest - it has a nice layout and a nice feel - so I have always wanted to paint it.

This piece is painted on canvas with a plain black border around the sides. You can frame it, but you could hang it up just as it is.

These glads were painted right there in the garden at the height of their glory. Tall,  straight and bursting with vitality. So they were when I started, but glads never last for long, and since they only bloom once a year, you have to appreciate them while you have them. I thought painting them would be an easy job, but really, it was (they were) more complicated. The longer I painted, the more I saw them as an metaphor for life - blooming and fading - perhaps you will too.
