Day 2 of painting on Mayne Island! I woke up early to catch the Georgina Point Lighthouse building in maximum light and shadow (and to have some shade to paint in). I knew right away I wanted a circle substrate for this scene. I made lots of new friends (human kind today) while I painted. A fantastic day punctuated by a happy visit to Mayne Island Brewing Co. to celebrate a good painting! #pleinairpainting #pleinair #mayneisland #pleinairbc #Lighthouse #mayneislandbrewingco #oilpainting #paintoutside #islandlife #beautifulbc #landscape #seascape #gulfislands

Enjoying my trip to Saturna Island, painting in the 🌞🏖 at East Point on Shell Beach today. No orca or humpback sightings yet, but I had many other creatures keeping me company! #pleinairpainting #eastpoint #saturnaisland #pleinair #shellbeach #paintoutside #beachday #beautifulbc #gulfislands #oilpainting #driftwood #driftwoodart

Morning garden stroll to find a subject to paint en plein air. We're staying at the cutest little cabin in Roberts Creek, BC, with plenty to inspire a painting! #pleinairpainter #robertscreek #oilpainting #gardenart #microcabin #robertscreekmicrocabin #sunshinecoast #sunshinecoastart #pleinair #opuspleinairchallenge #opusoutdoorpaintingchallenge

My first try painting a Nocturne with the legendary Carl Bretzke! This conference amazes me and challenges me every single day! And the community of people.... this is a place full of stars. So inspiring! #pace26 #nocturne #pleinairpainting

Not the best painting day at Big Cedar Lodge, but I made a lot of new friends and hung out with turtles all afternoon. That's a win! #pace26

Beautiful day in the Ozarks to make an oil study of this sweet chapel! I heard an amazing story that it quite often floods and the water races through it. I'm having the best time at #pace26 this year!

What a beautiful night in Branson! Met so many cool people already and have started a few watercolour plein air sketches. Looking forward to the pre-convention workshop tomorrow with @kevinmacphersonartist #pace26 #pace2026 #pleinair #pleinairpainting #ozarkart

Yesterday was a perfect plein air painting day on Bowen Island! The weather was perfect and all of mother nature was out to say hello: deer, raven, heron, crab, eel, geese, and even horses and a Manx cat! Thankful for James' photography and for always being down for an adventure. #pleinair #paintoutside #pleinairpainting #bowenisland #oilpainting

When you wake up to a view like this, you must paint! Plein air painting while traveling Ecuador has been a dream. So many more sketches to share! #pleinairpainting #pleinair #watercolour #paintoutside #ecuadorart

Weekend winter glamping and plein air painting getaway in Egmont, BC. I highly recommend staying at Backeddy Resort and taking a boat tour with Coastland Marine. Perfect escape!

Speed plein air painting at Point Wilson Lighthouse during my Port Townsend birthday weekend getaway. Super windy, 45 min sketch with sea lions barking behind me. Gorgeous state park... must return asap! #pleinairpainting #pleinair #paintoutside #watercolour #Lighthouse #pnwlife
