This view is from the back side of Old Baldy Mountain looking west over the southern half of Shawnigan lake. We’re not at the top yet and this flat spot is a great place to take a photo (aka stopping to catch your breath) as the hike is a steep one. The main vista, from the top is east over the Gulf Islands.
Michela Sorrentino opened a new show last night at the Pod Contemporary gallery in Ganges. Michela’s work is both fun and detailed. Below is a portion of this piece—a bit closer to what you would see if you were standing in front of the painting:

Even though there’s normally a lot more water in this river at this time of year, it’s still a great place to cool off on a hot day. There are interesting rocks to explore, some deep pools and some shady areas.
We finally ordered our own prints. They arrived yesterday so I got them on the wall and grabbed a quick iPhone photo.
These two form a stunning diptych; a view from Mount Tuam. The full set contains four images and currently resides on a client’s wall in Edmonton. But in our compact home I felt the middle two prints work best. And it was the only place where we had four feet of clear wall space.
The images were converted to black and white and printed on a true black and white, glossy archival paper. The print was then flush mounted on aluminum Dibond backing and sprayed with a protective matte finish. The finished product is clean, very light and simple to hang.
Unfortunately you just can’t get the true impression of the detail present, but the two images below might help (particularly if you are viewing on a ‘retina’ display — a modern high resolution screen) as this website now serves up higher resolution images if it detects an applicable display.
This set of two is available in any size to fit your space. Contact me if you are interested.

Out another window was a very large black bear walking towards us down the middle of the logging road. Fortunately he/she headed off on a trail away from where we’d stopped.
