So in all the family excitement during my 10-day visit to Cayman, it wasn’t until the last day that I found the opportunity to sit and pastel. Of course there was the frantic decision – what to paint? what to paint? – but I had been eyeing the beauty of some seagrape trunks through the doors, so it just made sense to choose that as my subject matter. I wanted to do a plein air painting and now I had the chance.
Here’s the process. These photos were taken with my phone so aren’t that brilliant – apologies.






Mum caught me as I was finishing up. You can see the tree trunks I was painting beyond.

So, I think that’s it for this time.
Thanks for sharing the journey 🙂

PS. Okay, so our trip home didn’t go as smoothly as we’d like. Approaching Toronto, we started circling…… We were diverted to Hamilton due to a freak snowstorm over Toronto airport and a VERY long story short, due to the delay, we were able to spend a day with my sister and her family in Ontario before heading home to the West Coast. Great silver lining!!

Love, love, love it Gail. You are such a wonderful inspiration! Is there a possibility you will be giving another workshop on Salt Spring? Just asking.
Warmly,
