Shelter from the Storm

This painting was inspired by a plein aire session on a windy November day on Whiffin Spit near Sooke British Columbia. The driftwood structure in the painting is a temporary structure built by beach visitors.  I thought the subject lent itself perfectly to the mood of the November light and the west coast storm.
This a 11" by 14" oil painting on birch panel.  No longer available

Sunset Glow
