August and September: Lots of great memories from the warm, long days of summer and time to put into practice my Lessons from the Great Masters. One particular sunny weekend we had a blissful early morning walk along Spanish banks and through the shaded Admiralty Trail in the Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Back in the studio I tried to re-capture English Bay with the Vancouver skyline, and the shimmering canopy of trees and leaves along the trail, in both watercolour and pen and ink.
At the end of August a visit to see our granddaughter included a glorious day at the beautiful Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island.
The beginning of September then saw us in the magnificent wine country of the Okanagan…
…followed by a drive to Whistler on Day 250 with spectacular views you may remember of the Fraser River and Coast Mountains between Lytton and Lillouet.
Throughout the two months I painted most days and surprised myself at continuing to meet my goal from New Year’s Day.
One final painting to join the favourites, this one of the wedding bouquet carried by our daughter a year ago which I painted for her first wedding anniversary on August 24th.
all quite lovely images Andrew; love the bouquet! very colorful and free 🙂

I loved the lessons from Great Masters series and bought two copies of the book one for each of my art student daughters (well one is doing Fashion Design and Illustration but let’s not split hairs) …. which they got for Christmas. I will share there results when I know them! For me in this collection the bouquet has to be my favourite – what a wonderful gift for your daughter from her daddy. I can think of nothing more lovely 🙂

I look forward to hearing how your daughters are enjoying the book. I hope they get as much out of it as I did. 🙂
