Queen Charlotte Islands Sojourn 2012

We just came back from the lovely Queen Charlottes and there was a lot of rain and some beautiful sun filled days. We stayed in Masset and Queen Charlotte City and visited our friends which live in Skidegate. This is one of the oil paintings I did in Masset when it wasn't raining so much. The cloud formation was pretty and I had to apply the paint very quickly, as another storm was moving in. I painted quite a bit and sketched a lot too. It was quite pricey for food and accomodations and we vacationed there for almost two weeks. We flew back by seaplane to Nanaimo and took the Ferry back as foot passengers and met more of our family on the North Shore. Winter on the West Coast so far has been fairly wet and cold but in the interior they have had some bad snow event days.
