hour, this forest, this river…she huffs once, then breaks branches with her teeth and paws to make the loudest noise, to show her strength and dominance over us, in case there was any doubt…she is the queen of this forest, for now….

She emerges from the water with confidence now, coming closer, to tell us she’s in charge of this
Copper River - Haida Gwaii 30″x24″
Nothing compares to the wet rugged coast of Haida Gwaii.
So much moisture, it is full of dense greens and rich earth. The environment of the Copper River hugs you with it’s dew and freshness. This place drew me into its spell. DM for sales.

“I used to dislike being sensitive.
I thought it made me weak.
But take away that single trait,
and you take away the very essence of who I am.
You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize,
my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain,
and my passion for it all .”

After the thorough inspection upstream in the shadows, where she found cover for her own protection, the old she bear emerges into the sunlight.
She gives us a full on stare, and inhales our scent to confirm our pack size and location. We haven’t moved or spoken, so in awe of her wild life, her habits, all she has done to survive, and to ensure the survival of her cubs over many years… years….

Toba Inlet, B.C. This very old female, with no cubs, yellow broken teeth, appeared from her daybed in the forest for her turn to fish.
She was mildly annoyed to see humans in the viewing deck, but she could deal…

Riverbed 2 ( Word for River in Squamish: Stakw) 40″X30″
My most recently finished piece!
The shot was taken in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver where I grew up. Running through the woods and waters fuelled my imagination. Nature here has no seams. No Hard lines. Layer upon layers of intricate design. Flora and Fauna everywhere. DM for sales.

Has anyone else been struggling to get up for work in the mornings?
🙋 It's difficult when it is so dark out. However, the other day I was spoiled with this sunrise on the drive in so it wasn't so bad after all.
Here's a little reminder that our hours will be changing to Saturday-Sunday 11AM-4PM so we can fully embrace #hibernationmode .. just kidding, we will still be working hard, but we will be focusing on all the other things that need to get done!

🧡 When Steel & Oak opened in 2014, it revitalized New West’s love affair with beer by becoming our
first brewery since 2005 🍻 The good folks at @bcaletrail are highlighting them as one of the best breweries in our great Riverfront Community, check out this beautiful video they’ve made.
📝 They’ve also put together a valuable itinerary for planning a memorable adventure here in New West and other fantastic places North of the Fraser which you can access in our bio! 🗺 Cheers 🍻

Sunshine Coast⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here's the full drawing of Rieveley Pond Hut on the Sunshine Coast which I posted a week or so ago.
I thought I'd posted this image as part of a carousel but oops I guess I didn't. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This wooded scene looked atmospheric or almost spooky enough to qualify for a Halloween post.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In reality it's just a pretty wooded area for camping, no ghouls or scary things lurking in these woods(not that I encountered anyway). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Available as postcard, print or in my 2022 BC Hikes Calendar.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
