SOLD #96 Cattle Point gulls

#96  Cattle Point gulls
6"x6" Acrylic on hardboard....$85CAD
I painted this from a reference photo I took while aimlessly walking around Cattle Point, Victoria, BC.  It was just after a big storm and the logs, that had been thrown around in the ocean waves  like matchsticks, were still unbleached from the sun.

I originally had a very dark background in this piece but wanted to play with colour a bit which in turn left my garlic bulbs looking very dull. Solution? More colour!

I've had this inkwell for a while not knowing quite where it would work in. I think the white chalk and black board give it a neat "old school" look!

This is a scrumptious cheese from nearby Salt Spring Island. It 's so creamy you would be tempted to eat it with a spoon. The composition of this piece came together for me when I included my Victoria BC, souvenir teaspoon with the totem pole handle.
