Summer Fog



This painting was inspired by a beach scene near the Sooke Harbour House on Whiffin Spit. Occasionally on a summer day, a soft fog will roll in from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, giving rise to an unusual yet beautiful scene. On the one hand, the open sea with the fog creates a cool mysterious mood, while at the same time, the sun shining down on the garden and trees creates a warm and inviting setting.

Oil painting on 16" by 24" stretched linen.  No longer Available
