Sidney Harbour Winter Sunrise #7
$85.00 – $595.00
Sidney Harbour Winter Sunrise #7
$85.00 – $595.00Walking on the seawall in an early morning walk after a late night flight, I was treated to this spectacular winter sunrise from Sidney. The layers of cloud and veiled light provided subtle and unexpected colours and shapes. This piece was painted wet on wet with a lot of running of the acrylic paint and I was thoroughly satisfied with the feeling it evokes.

$85.00 – $480.00This is a spot south of Willow Point where we go with friends to have a bonfire, usually on Sunday evenings. I went a little earlier in the day to catch the light. One of our favorite spots.

The Conductor
$85.00 – $500.00On a blustery March morning I was exploring East Sooke Regional Park when I came upon this fellow. I love cormorants and their postures as they dry off their wings. Even on this blustery and cool day it is necessary to dry off before flight is practical. If you hike along these shoreline trails you will discover these entertaining characters.

Bamfield study
$85.00 – $360.00This tiny community on the West Coast of Vancouver Island was originally populated by the Huu-ay-aht First Nation. Europeans arrived and formed a small fishing village sometime in the late 1800s. Most of the Huu-ay-aht people now live in the neighbouring village of Anacla, about 5 kilometres from Bamfield.

The Duet (This Pacific Life)
$85.00 – $480.00This was inspired by my travels down the Juan de Fuca Trail on Vancouver Island’s West Coast. And by the kelp beds, mussels and, of course, the oh so formal Cormorants. Water fowl for sure but without natural oils to protect their feathers ( like ducks) they must dry their wings in the sun and shore breezes after every dive.

Petro-ecomomics. Not a sum-zero game.
$85.00 – $460.00The rocks and waves were encountered as I clamored over the shoreline north of Botany Bay. You need to be careful to keep your footing as one slip into the thrashing and very cold waves could have nasty consequences. It is easy to get seduced by natures beauty into below tidewater situations as well. Being stranded on an incoming tide would turn you into a statistic here so be mindful if you explore this section. The intent of this painting is to consider the impact of that seemingly non-threatening oil tanker on the horizon on this spectacular ecosystem in the foreground.

Mesmerized
$100.00 – $595.00I am mesmerized by the constant changes in the sky and drift wood. This is my favourite little segment of beach along Victoria’s most popular footpath. I come here to unwind at the end of my day, with the comfort of the cemetery behind me and the Salish sea stretched out before me.

WAVES STUDY 1
$85.00 – $595.00The mysteries of the sea have inspired creatives for centuries and remain a continual source for contemplation. I am fascinated by the rhythmic sound and motion of waves and wanted to further explore their organic and ever-changing form in greater detail. This piece is one of my favourites in a series of recent watercolour studies, inspired by one of my favourite beaches on the Pacheedaht First Nation reserve land.

$85.00 – $595.00I captured this image while hiking into Schooner Cove in Tofino. It was early morning and we had just reached the beach to discover some perfect conditions. There was a slight mist in the air and the sun was shining perfectly through the trees. As soon as I saw this scene I was super excited and took a ton of photographs! Sometimes it is just about being there at the right moment.

Visions of Metchosin
$85.00 – $465.00One summer day, we were walking along the coast in the breathtaking East Sooke Park, and I settled down to do a series of sketches of this beautiful rugged coastline. Windswept trees, rocky shores scattered with the long spirals of bull kelp, sun casting white across the ocean, islands peeping out like whales from the turquoise sea. It was a blissful landscape.
When I returned to my studio I fused the sketches into one painting.artist: GILLIAN REDWOOD

Catboomer
$85.00 – $460.00For a few years I painted right up against the ocean, in the little town of Cowichan Bay. My art studio was located between wharfs and fishing boats. For many thousands of years Cowichan Bay was home to Coast Salish people who harvested the wealth of salmon and shellfish found in its many coves, tidal flats and swiftly flowing rivers. Cowichan Bay was the gateway for European settlement of the Cowichan and Chemainus valleys from the early 1860s. This deepwater port remains active to this day, with sport and commercial fishing and log and lumber exports.

One can see majestic bald eagles as they patrol their range, always on the look out for a meal. Brady’s Beach is one of (many) favourite places to visit and understand the natural world.
