The inspiration for the Qualicum Arbutus came from a walk with family while on vacation in Qualicum Beach prior to moving to the area.  I came across this magnificent tree and I knew I had to photograph it to paint. The beautiful twists and turns of the limbs and gradual slope of the main trunk and vibrant and saturated colors captivated me. It has been a true gift to spend time re-creating this beautiful specimen.

The Como Birch trees that inspired this painting were such a wonderful view to come upon on a walk around Como Lake Park in Coquitlam BC. It is a pleasant walk around a small lake and I took the photograph on a sunny day with the stark white bark with bright yellow accents juxtaposed against the blue sky.

More paintings will be added to this series as I paint them and it is likely to be an ongoing series.
