Watercolour

This is the view looking south from Dallas Rd. as it passes Beacon Hill
Park here in Victoria. The photo I used
was taken in April when Beacon Hill, and every other Garry Oak meadow on
southern Vancouver Island, is bright blue with camus flowers… and the grass is
still green. We are in the ‘rain shadow’ of those mountains you can see across
the Strait on the Olympic peninsula of Washington State. Our summers are pretty dry, and grass is only
green from October to May.
The panorama format of my new watercolour book is working okay here in
Canada… we’ll see how it goes in Japan. (I’m taking some small square sheets as
well.)
I have scheduled a series of posts about my Haiku project to be
published on this blog while I’m away, and will be back toward the end of
November with paintings of Japan.
