Music by David Jeffrey Coles

#1. Mother Log

24 x 24 mixed media on cradled wood panel.

A Fallen Log, nurturing fungus entwined with leaves. The inspiration for this piece is the abundance of relationships in the forest. Curling fungus that is firm and feminine beside the rough edged bark embracing each other. All painted of white, void of color to enhance the tactile experience.

#2. Icons of the Beach

20 x 24, mixed media, cradled wood panel.

Large rock monoliths tower over waves, rocks, and beach. Walking the beach, hearing the roar of the waves crashing against enormous rocks, smells of salty brine with the sand squishing between your toes.

All painted in white, devoid of color, to enhance the tactile experience.

#3. From Point Atkinson

24 x 20, mixed media, cradled wood panel.

Weather and wave ravaged rock face support struggling trees and trees. Overlooking the surging ocean on a cloudy day with Point Gray in the distance. All painted in white, devoid of color, to enhance the tactile experience.

#4. Beach Pebbles

24 x 24, mixed media, on cradled wood panel

Sensual curves of Beach Pebbles are embedded in the sand, reminiscent of childhood collections, all painted in white, void of color. To enhance the tactile experience.

#5. Tidal Edge

20 x 24. Mixed media. Cradled wood panel.

Standing at the water's edge as gentle waves rush around rocks and sand. All painted in white, void of color, to enhance your tactile experience.

#6. Gulf Island Trail

48 x 24, Acrylic on canvas

The heat of the sun dapples the forest trail, leaving deep shadows and blues and purples behind. Vivid colors of orange and green dappled beside brilliant blues on tree bark. Smelling the heat of the needle strewn path envelopes you in summer.

#7. Sunrise Over English Bay

24 x 36. Acrylic on canvas.

A spectacle of brilliant colours welcome the day over a calm sea. A variety of jewel tones sparkle over the ocean. A sunrise always brings a promise of a wonderful day.

#8. Coastal Sunset

24 x 30. Acrylic on canvas.

Glowing heat of the setting sun warms a rocky beach. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my face and the cool ocean breeze brings such calmness to me.

#9. Magic in the Beaver Pond

24 x 24, Acrylic on canvas.

Summer sun warms the marsh grasses and leaves deep shadows on fallen logs of blues and purples. Such drama of the blue hues and the shadowed logs against the striking lemon green grasses are exciting and invigorating.
