Shanghai nights Other Landscapes I have always loved Zinnias

I have always loved Zinnias and the ones growing here were bigger than any I had seen

Quite by accident I discovered this enticing rock

After a challenging bike ride on a very rough path of boulders

This image of the Lions Gate bridge with Grouse Mountain in the background touched a place deep in my heart as my home town is the beautiful city of Vancouver

Shanghai nights Other Landscapes I have always loved ZinniasThis painting was a challenge from my mentor at Mastrius, Doug Swinton. A nocturnal painting. I chose this one of Shanghai and although I was not initially keen to paint a night scene, I did enjoy the process and was very happy with the end result! Now if I could just stay up past dark and get some nocturnal images of my own I will be happy as a clam! 8 x 10 Oil on canvas
