I drew inspiration for this new miniature painting titled: “Island Morning” (measuring 1.5 x 5.25 inches), from a morning walk along the water in beautiful Courtney BC.
This tiny painting is available at Excellent Frameworks in Duncan BC. Have a look on-line or stop in to view their annual miniature show if you want to see a great collection of tiny art.

This miniature painting is another scene from beautiful Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island. It’s nice to get lost in the details of painting a forest or lake summer scene, particularly during this gray and rainy time of year here on the west coast.
This is the sister painting to “Walk in the Woods” (4 x 1.5 inches), another miniature shown below.
“Walk by the Lake” (1.5 x 4 inches), acrylic on board.

A favourite place to spend a day exploring, here are two new miniature paintings featuring the beautiful Coquihalla River as it flows alongside the Othello Tunnels, near Hope BC. More information about the Othello Tunnels, and the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, can be found by following this link, for those who are interested.
These two paintings are available for purchase from Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island, as part of the gallery’s 12th Anniversary Spring Show.
Title: “River Suite 1 & 2”, miniature paintings measuring 1.5 x 6 inches each, acrylic on artboard.
For me, a day on the west coast of Vancouver Island is usually a grand adventure out on the trails, through the trees and across the beaches. And yes, more often than not, a rainy one too. But when the sun is shining, it is absolutely glorious!
Here is a miniature painting I did of a day spent on the beautiful west coast titled: “Summer Shore” (measuring a tiny 1.75 x 4.25 inches in size), painted with acrylic on art board.
Here’s a new miniature painting titled: “At Rest”, measuring 1.75 x 4.25 inches in size.
This little acrylic painting features a scene of Vancouver Island and Newcastle Island, also known as Saysutshun, a wonderful place to boat to, hike over and just spend a day exploring.
Spring time in pretty Beacon Hill park on Vancouver Island, where lovely camas blooms in the grass and blue skies shine overhead. Lovely spot for a ramble on a sunny day!
“Spring Meadow” (1.75 x 4.25 inches), acrylic on art board, second image with coin to show scale.
Here is the last miniature painting of my summer series featuring some of the beautiful beaches on the west coast of Vancouver Island. This is a view of the lovely Wickaninnish beach area, titled: “A Day on the Coast” (measuring a tiny 2.25 x 3.5 inches in size).
This miniature painting was done with acrylic on art-board and took approximately fifteen hours to complete.
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons in which to paint the landscape. Like spring, the fall season here on the west coast is colourful and full of energy. Leaves are changing, storms are brewing and the landscape is busily preparing for a winter nap.
I painted this little miniature several years ago, featuring some old train tracks running through the small town of Chemainus on Vancouver Island, still a lovely place to visit.
Here is another little piece from my summer series, titled: “When the Tide Rolls In” (1.75 x 4.25 inches small). This is a view from along the Wickaninnish beach area on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
