sketches from my brother's garden
My brother's garden, Keats Island in the Gulf Coast, B.C. A few sketches of fireweed, sunflower and sweet peas, all in reverse as they are photographed with a computer camera, ink line drawing not photographing too well. a great time sketching and painting on the island for a week, the most beautiful weather in BCs history, the ocean good for swimming, no deer sighted. and a portrait done of my brother Fred which I will include when I return to Mexico at the end of the week. Connecting and communing here with family, walking in cool weather now, a pleasure after Vallarta's scalp sweating heat and humidity. The fireweed a special treat, a memory of youth in Northern Manitoba. where it was scrubbier and covered hills a rocks with purple pink and lavender, the first growth after the trees were cut, cut, as I recall, to make a fire break in the bush.
