Great Blue Heron
Great Blue Heron 14″ x 11″
I never get tired of seeing all of the Blue Herons in Jericho Park in Vancouver. There are so many – nesting in the trees, feeding at the ponds and flying over. Further down along Spanish Banks, dozens wade into low-tide looking for a meal. Lots of painting opportunities.
Red-winged Blackbird
Red-winged Blackbird 8″ x 8″
I did something different with the background here. I’m not sure if I like it, or if it looks like some crazy 70’s wallpaper.

Fall in Vancouver
Changing Seasons 8″ x 8″
It has been a very grey, rainy fall here in Vancouver. Maybe this painting will help to brighten things up a bit.
Hanging out at the pond.
Isabelle 16″ x 20″
Feels like spring here in Vancouver, so we will soon be doing lots of this. Throwing something into the pond means you will soon be surrounded by ducks.
Put A Bird On It!
As I was working on these, I couldn’t help but think of this sketch from Portlandia: Put A Bird On It!
Jericho Park
Fall Shadows 8″ x 8″
Here is yet another tree from Jericho Park. I am so lucky to have this park practically in my backyard. You can see an amazing variety of wildlife on any given day. I have seen: ducks, geese, eagles, herons, bats, harbour seals, rabbits, squirrels, beavers, turtles, racoons, frogs, crabs, all kinds of birds and even a coyote once. Perhaps choosing a tree to paint is a little boring…
Perspective
Boardwalk, Granville Island 18″ x 24″
Drawing things in perspective is not one of my strengths. Half way through this painting, I realized that I had it very wrong. I made some corrections (not easy when the painting is too far along), but I’m still not sure I’ve got it right.
This path runs around Granville Island, on the North side of False Creek. A beautiful walk when it’s sunny.

Painting a little
3″ x 3″ acrylic painting
The latest in my series of tiny paintings. They keep me painting when art time is limited.
