At the end of the day, the sky burns over the land. The setting sun lights the evening clouds and creates dramatic, unbelievable bands of orange, pink, and violet above the trees. Below, the beds are part light and part shadow — some still hold the last glow, while others cool in the shade. As your eye travels through the painting, you suddenly see them: the quiet silhouettes of a bird and a totem pole, hidden among the leaves and branches. For a moment, it feels as though the spirit of this land has turned to speak with you. Tall evergreens frame the view and hold the eye. Between them, a soft light opens toward the distant mountains of Vancouver Island and the cooling waters of Howe Sound.
