Evening Song at Matthew’s Point

Description

Inspired by the light seeking arbutus that line the shoreline of Matthew’s Point on Galiano Island.  With thanks to Douglas Thistle-Walker for sharing his beautiful photo “Those Golden Moments” as a reference for this piece.

Arbutus are light seekers, survivors that thrive in difficult circumstances along rocky ledges and steeper hillsides.  I love the way they reach out to the light, showing off all their colours, inviting us to reach with them.  My paintings often include an arbutus, it’s hard to find a shoreline without one!
