Lenticular Dreams over Sooke Hills


This surrealistic style painting was inspired by a scene looking towards Sooke with the unusal and seldom seen lenticular clouds floating over the Sooke Hills.  This work was dedicated to the memory of my dear artist friend and mentor Bill Skuce who passed away in Feb 2015.
For this painting, I was honored to receive the People's Choice Award for the Sooke Fine Art Show of 2016.

The dimensions of this oil painting is 24" x 48" cradled birch panel.  No longer Available
