Evening light is gloaming over Active Pass as Georgia Strait slips into warm shadows. The warm corals and deep shadows of the sandstone, warmed from an early spring sun invite you to sit down and enjoy the peaceful scene. Soft greening grasses and swelling Garry oak buds are promising many more sunny days ahead. Orca killer whales slip through the soft blues and greens of water. Tiny Bellhouse Park located on Burrill Point, Galiano Island offers this inviting vista.
Just as if you were sitting on the sandstone, this realistic, romantic and a touch impressionistic painting, “Visiting Bellhouse Park”, will bring you back to it’s gentle shoreline, over and over again.
Acrylic on stretched canvas. The scene continues around all four edges of the painting, so framing is a choice, not a necessity.
