It rained here on the Central Coast yesterday, so I took out my photo file and came across a shot that has a lot memories.
We were fortunate to be able to cruise the San Juan and Gulf Islands while living in the Northwest. I’d carry my paints and sketchbook aboard to use when we were anchored or hiking about. Salt Spring Island is home to many wonderful artist. It's mostly rural, quiet, beautiful and sits just off the eastern shore of Vancouver Island. It was our last trip to BC before returning to California, and we’re heading home. The sun setting over Salt Spring Island was one of those great photo opportunities. I’ve painted it here as a ‘postcard’ size memory of our wonderful times there.

A beautiful piece made even more appealing by your nostalgic story. Your words take me right into the painting!
