On a visit to Kekuli Bay Provincial Park, a 15 minute drive south of Vernon, BC.
This is the first in a succession of weekly blogs featuring half hour concept sketches to be used as reference for commissioned and otherwise prospective paintings. I am integrating my sketching into our Sunday family adventures. Lisa and I find experiencing nature physically is our personal connection to spirituality. God means many things to many people, and to me this is where I feel part of something that inspires awe and perhaps even a sense of the divine. So I have decided to combine this exploration with my artwork in an attempt to communicate to others these moments, as they are experienced that day. I attempt to encapsulate the impressions of color I see created by the energy in these spaces at these moments. My artwork is a representation of the amalgamation of both what I feel and what I see. I use my photographs as a loose reference after the initial sketch however the original image is what I use to catch the essence of that instant in that place. Kekuli Bay Park is quick access to the pleasures of being lakeside in a fold of arid grass fields. We enjoyed a stroll on the trail and a picnic in the park. To sketch, I perched near a bird platform towering 50 feet above, with the mother circling in suspicion of my intent. The lake of glass lay undisturbed for 8km to horizon where it finds the small community of Oyama, BC.
