/ Terrill Welch / 1 Comment

Trees, sandstone shore and sea greet the midday sun as it comes towards all that is possible – never mind what has come before or what will come afterwards. This is now – beauty of a moment’s breath in time.

Plein Air Painting From Felix Jack Road Mayne Island

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

A view that surprises as the viewer emerges from thick forested road. I pondered and mused until one morning I just through my easel and paints in the back of Red Rosie, drove over and parked on the side of the road to paint.

New Growth West Coast in late May – Canadian landscape oil painting

/ Terrill Welch / 2 Comments

The winter and spring rains have left both moss, salal and trees dressed in new frocks of vibrant green. It won’t last. As summer progresses the new growth will harden off and become dull and crunchy in the summer’s heat. Today though – we celebrate!

NEW GROWTH WEST COAST IN LATE MAY – 8 x 8 inch oil on gessobord with two inch wood cradle.

This painting is now in a private collection.

My painterly goal is to bring the viewer into the landscape so it is experienced rather than observed. The method of doing this varies from one painting to another but the necessity to do so never wavers. In this painting, I want viewers to feel the soft earth under their feet. Breathe the damp freshness of a rain that is not quite complete. Touch the tender new growth as if their eyes are closed. Smell the pungent salt of the sea lapping against their inner ear… all the while in mid-step, slightly off balance as the mechanisms of the eye and brain scramble for clarity in a driving need to still the body’s surrounds – a driving need to liberate the viewer from within the landscape. My painting challenge is to keep the viewer experiencing the landscape from within for as long as possible.
