Springtime at Yellow Point


This painting was inspired by our annual trip to Yellow Point last spring.   The gold green moss covering the rock outcroppings along the shoreline added a beautiful touch of color to this overcast spring scene.  This painting was awarded 3rd prize in the 75th Anniversary Exhibition of the Federation of Canadian Artists in Victoria BC.

This is a 10" x 20" oil painting on canvas.   No Longer Available
