A Garden in Terrace

Anne and Bruce’s Garden

12” x 24”  o/c

a gift

Sometimes, the best thing about being an artist is that you can escape the bustle of a wedding kitchen and slip out into the garden to paint. I had just such luck on a recent, happy visit to Canada.  The quiet of Anne and Bruce’s prolific garden called me away from wedding preparations - but even the flowers were being whisked away for table decorations as I painted them.

This is the finished painting of that garden in Terrace, B.C., and it is meant to be a happy reminder of important occasion in their lives. I only had a short amount of time to do the study and a limited palate of acrylic paint, so the finished piece is quite a bit different than the study (published earlier, but shown again below).

A Garden in Terrace, the study

(Anne and Bruce's Garden)

7" x 11"  acrylic on board

This is a study for a bigger piece. It was painted at the end of summer on a family visit to Canada. While everybody else prepared for a wedding, I slipped away with my paintbox. Terrace is located in western-central BC, with a much different landscape than ours in California. It's in a rainforest, and everything was lush and green, even at the end of summer. I was happy to get a chance to paint, even if it was just out in the backyard!

Autumn Woods

New Brunswick, Canada 

9.5" x 13"  oil on board

$45.

The Virtual Paintout has traveled to New Brunswick, Canada for the month of November, and I stopped to paint this lovely stand of trees.  They seemed to be in harmony with this autumn season. It seems like I could have been standing out there on the roadside painting just yesterday.
