The beauty of the Broughton
Archipelago never ceases to delight
me. The same is true of watercolour,
always new beauty, new surprise.
This new painting along with several
others will be on display at
Qualicum Art, 206 1st Ave W
Along with the ceramic art of my
Hercules, Al Munro, from early March
to mid- May.
I often use a limited palette which exploits the behavioral characteristics of the various pigments. Hence it is
easy to express a sandy beach, textured stone, or a moisture-laden atmosphere without painting every stroke
Just lay in water, then charge in the selected pigments and wait while they settle themselves into the paper.
Winter 2018 ~
This winter has been a great contrast and a relief from last year's deep freeze! Except for this ending of February we have mainly been blessed with reasonable winter weather with the usual amount of wind, rain, (lots) and snow (a bit more than usual). My daffodils and tulips got a bit over-eager, yet are still forming buds.
Last summer's display of paintings and our potting techniques at Pierres@Echo Bay was so successful that we have been invited back again, hooray! We'll try to come up with something new and exciting and will be offering throwing and hand-building lessons and demos to interested parties, along with a display of new paintings.
The painting image shown below was commissioned as a gift and I loved painting it, I think you can feel it...one more painting commission to complete from last summer and I'll be ready for this year...
By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea
One more Spring Show in the works; I'll be displaying new paintings, along with Toni-Rose Carvalhal at the Filberg Lodge in Comox, Mother's Day Weekend~ May 12 and 13. Come along to the Mothers' Day brunch and then visit us in the Lodge.
Sign up for my memoir writing workshop, at the Filberg Center, 411 Anderton Ave. Courtenay, May 9 and 11, 9:15 -11:45 both days. 95.00 for the two-day workshop, bring your notes, computer or notebook, we'll engage in the first steps needed to tell your story.

Yvonne's Books ~
If you are interested in the story of the Broughton Archipelago...look for these books on BC Ferries, independent BC bookstores, Billy's Museum or have a studio tour at SeaRose Studio near Echo Bay to see what artworks Al and Yvonne have under way.
Colour the British Columbia Coast takes you to the southern Gulf islands, Pacific Rim park, the Broughton Archipelago and up the central coast to beautiful Haida Gwaii, featuring the people and places of our remarkable land/seascape. Drawings are printed on good quality paper for colouring or painting, each with a tear-out strip so you can mount or hang your picture. To the left of each drawing a short description of the scene, a book title or internet site offers more information about the topic. An Artist's Tip on each page too, which makes this book a whole lot more than just another colouring book! Retailing at $20.00, Colour the British Columbia Coast promises a lot of enjoyable creative time....
Read Bill Proctor and Yvonne's enduring classic of the history, people and places of the Broughton Archipelago - Full Moon Flood Tide - 10,000 copies sold...! Tide Rips and Back Eddies continues the tradition and offers an in-depth portrait of Blackfish Sound.
In Drawn to Sea, Yvonne creates stunning, lyrical word pictures of her home in the Broughton Archipelago. Making the most of the tools available, from paintbrush to chainsaw, she has flourished in this remote area, carving out a home and a career in a place far from just about everyone.
Available in your local bookstore, online or through Yvonne

I experienced so much pleasure in the creation of this artwork. Not for sale of course, but I think it shows what I could do for you....

Colour the British Columbia Coast I am so happy to share that my adult (and kids!) colouring book has been very successful and is still available in Bc Ferry Gift shops and other independent book stores. I love it when people send me drawings they have coloured and tell me what it meant to them. Contact me anytime for signed copies, or come by for a studio visit..... |
