Original Landscape Painting "Magical Moss and Arbutus"

Painted from life during a plein air (outdoor) painting session in East Sooke, Vancouver Island, BC. I was in a very special location and the way the light was hitting the moss and the arbutus tree felt so magical. 

Original oil painting on 24" x 24" stretched canvas.

* This is a 2 inch gallery wrapped canvas, meaning that it does not require a frame. i always paint the sides either black or grey. It can be framed. A gallery-wrapped canvas is a type of stretched canvas, in which the staples or tacks are hidden on the back of the canvas. 

*Each Artwork is signed by me on both the front and back.

*Every oil painting is finished with an archival varnish to retain the saturation of colour and protect it from dust and other environmental toxins such as smoke. The varnish provides a non-porous, protective layer that is removable for conservation purposes; it serves its aesthetic purpose whilst also providing protection.
