LAST DAYS OF SUMMER - 8 X 14
Oh, this was the September to be
camping!! We have just got back from our
last trip of the season and it was the best!!
The weather was fabulous, often 30 during the day, the scenery was
wonderful, and the fishing was great! What more could you ask? My husband, Steve was busy each day arranging
the tackle, getting worms and charging the electric motor and I was
painting. There was a surprising number
of people camped at the lake with us so lots of company and stories and of
course theories on fishing – Best Practices were the tale of the day. The days just whizzed by, can’t believe we
are home already.
SUMMER SUNSHINE - 4.5 X 6
Davis Lake is in the mountains, just south
of Merritt. It is just at the point
where the forests are turning into the dry grasslands. The landscape is so different from the coast,
short pine and firs, lots of birch and poplar and huge areas of grassland. Of course the fall colours were starting to
show and on those sunny days everything just took on new life. I know my photos and sketches just do not do
it justice.

The trees and grasslands were beautiful

The lake looks so peaceful and the weather sounds fabulous. Great photographs too. I like the watercolours you did; I find en plein air work very difficult.
Beautiful photographs and amazing paintings! I love the atmosphere you've captured in your second painting. Lovely
Wendy, what a beautiful and peaceful-looking spot to be camping, squirrel notwithstanding.
Beautiful pictures Wendy
