A month after I returned from Portugal I yearned to paint plein air on our soil, so I went to Finnerty Gardens at UVIC on a drizzly overcast day and painted this scene. The colours are of course my own impression. Dimensions: 11 X 14 “, 46 X 51 cm Framed/Unframed: Framed Medium: Oil Price: $200 CAD

To me, tidal pools are like a metaphor for the mysteries in life. The hidden secrets, things we can see and those we can’t. Rock formations, little creatures swimming, darting, busy getting food, protecting their young, and scuttling about. Water comes and goes echoing the passage of time and events, thoughts, and feelings. So, there I go capturing these wonderful moments.
