Evening on the Water - 8x8 - Oil on Canvas
Atardecer en el Agua - 20x20cm - Oleo
Available at South Shore Gallery

As you may know, we spend a lot of time on the water especially in the summer. We get to enjoy weekends or extended times on our sailboat, we typically drop anchor and spend the night in quiet bays. When the activity of the day starts slowing down, the day is over, and everybody gets tucked in for the night, you get to see cosy views like this one. I wonder, are they playing cards inside? Board games, reading? Times like these are usually "unconnected" times, with no or very limited Internet access. That's what we usually do, marathon board games, cards championships that last the whole trip and create good memories. "Evening on the water" is an 8x8, oil on canvas and it's available at South Shore Gallery in Sooke.

Como ya tal vez sepan, nosotros pasamos mucho tiempo sobre el agua, especialmente en los veranos. Disfrutamos de fines de semana o vacaciones más largas en nuestro velero, normalmente bajamos el ancla y pasamos la noche en bahías muy tranquilas. Cuando se acaba la actividad del día, se empieza hacer de noche y todos y se encienden las luces, se ven muchas vistas como esta. Yo me pregunto, estarán jugando a las cartas o a juegos de mesa, tal vez leyendo? Esto son tiempos "desconectados", con muy poca o nada de Internet. Eso es lo que hacemos nosotros normalmente, jugamos juegos de mesa o hacemos campeonatos de cartas que a veces duran el viaje completo y creamos así muchos buenos recuerdos. "Atardecer en el Agua" es un óleo de 20×20 cm y está disponible en la Galería South Shore en Sooke.

    I am an artist living in Victoria, BC, Canada. I love to paint the beauty around me, capture moments and memories. I paint because the process gives me immense pleasure and joy. I paint because it allows me to remember places I have been to, moments I have lived. Just like music can in an instant transport you to a different time, my art has the ability to take me back in time and place and put a smile on my face. I paint because it allows me to imagine my next trip or my next walk in the woods. It mean it to be an invitation for you to pause and just simply enjoy the moment. Hope you enjoy my art!
