Snap Shots and Painting in the Great Outdoors

Summer is always filled with outdoor experiences and lots of travel. Vic and I love road trips and I make sure to pack my camera, paint box and canvas with me because you never know what you'll see or who you will meet along the way.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
I look forward to painting on location  during our road trips. Painting is a must but I need to do a bit of planning and make sure we have enough time to find a quiet spot with a nice log or a provincial park picnic bench and settle in somewhere comfortable for a few hours. After finding a breathtaking view which usually includes a few rocks, a tree and a cabin by the lake, I set up with paints, brushes, panels, or canvas and this is when I notice it's the exact time that the bugs find me. Bugs love me and all the insects in the area end up buzzing in my ear, crawling up my pant leg or doing the backstroke through my paint washes on my canvas. It is a minor distraction and I am learning to tolerate them. I must remind myself that I am invading their turf, their territory and natural habitat.

TOO BRIGHT
Vic's favourite tool for painting is his computer which also includes his stylus,Wacom tablet and art software program Illustrator, Painter and Photoshop. For our painting trips here and abroad, Vic envisioned getting a travel friendly lap top that he could easily use to sketch or paint on location. After borrowing a friends laptop for the day trip to the beach, he quickly found out the outdoor light creates a glare on the monitor and makes working on outdoors on a lap top a big disappointment. Vic's mentioned that perhaps if we got him a big dark tent to work in, he could then poke his head out through a peep hole to catch a glimpse of the lake or landscape or the mountain goat peacefully grazing by the tent. If we get him a lap top, then we could get the tent, an espresso machine, table, air conditioner, lounge chairs, a printer and a cooler filled with fine wines and cheeses.

SNAP
For the quick road side stops, I do love taking snap shots and 60 or 70 snap shots is often all I need to capture ONE successful shot of an awesome squirrel, mountain scape or a charming 200 year old barn that is leaning 30 degrees to the left. I admit I am not very good at using a camera and by no means a "photographer" but love clicking and snapping away. Sometimes I point the camera out the car window as Vic drives our trusty Volvo station wagon through the winding mountain roads. I happily snap away and have documented most of the ditch and mountains from Hope to Calgary.

STUDIO PAINTING and PLEIN AIR PAINTING
Studio painting and painting outdoors are two different experiences and each has its benefits. Traveling about and painting at random outdoor locations gives me a sense of freedom because my expectations for the painting is simply, I have no expectations but to enjoy the spontanity of it all. Outside in the wilds in my favourite neighbourhoods, or traveling in the interior or seaside beaches, I am totally wrapped up in the experience of capturing the essence of the scene and enjoying all the pleasures and the sights and sounds of nature. Plein air painting makes me feel totally refreshed, and connected to my inner outdoor self. Extremes do happen and if the sun is not blistering hot, the unexpected gusts of wind and rain create unwanted but note worthy distractions. Often my eyes are tearing up due to the wind, my paint tray has blown off its support and is upside down in the dirt or my hat has been carried off into the water. Not to forget Vic, who is quietly turning blue and wishing he was warmer and having lunch at the bistro with a cappuccino in hand.
Painting in the studio is warm and dry and I don't need sunscreen and I can reheat my cup of cold coffee 3 times if needed. Often I enjoy some background sounds like audio books, the cable channels 80's, classical, the Chill Lounge music, my Moby CD's or the summer sounds of our gardener's melodic leaf blower or edge trimmers.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
 My studio is a comfortable painting space where I can totally focus on the task and details at hand. I can work any hour of the day or night but now that I am listing off all the attributes of both, I feel there is something missing in my studio work environment. When I am in the wilds painting and observing all the beauty of nature, I am never alone. I know Vic is close by in the car staying warm and never too far away from my ear, pant legs or painting, are my good friends the bugs. These friendly winged or crawly, chewing creatures are happy to keep me company and are the becoming a very entertaining part of the outdoor painting experience for me.

THE BUG OLYMPICS
So for our next upcoming painting expedition into the great outdoors, I will be sure to bring my camera along and shoot the antics of my little bug friends and document their continuous and tireless efforts to totally immerse themselves in my paint and if I am lucky, I can capture one of their typical synchronized swimming events and dare devil diving into my painting.
I can expect all the usual spectacles to play out as the bug teams in yellow and black or purple jerseys flip and flop and dive and backstroke their way through the pools of water colour washes in my Olympic size paint tray. After much effort to stop the events, I resign myself to their constant persistence and I put down my brushes to enjoy their gold and silver medal round competitions. As the light on the my water view dims and the last bug has made purple footprints through the sunset sky of my painting, I anticipate the next stage of the planned festivities-their gala awards ceremony and lavish dinner celebrations. From my past experiences and delight, I, once again will be their guest of honour and their main course.

GOOD NEWS update Sept 6th
I have just heard through a very reliable source that there are laptop shade covers available for artists and photographers who like to work on their digital artworks outdoors. Many thanks to Francis for letting us know about these covers for laptops, Vic will enjoy working outdoors now.

Art and Hockey


Caution, the word snow is mentioned in this blog
It is June 11th and the topic of conversation has quickly steered away from art and all our attention has been dominated by hockey game angst and the good and the bad outcomes of the Vancouver Canucks battle for the Stanley Cup.

I am not an avid hockey fan but I grew up in Calgary, Alberta where hockey and winter activities were a big part of our lives. I remember how much my Dad loved to watch the NHL games every Saturday night and my three brothers all enjoyed playing hockey at the community rink.
Our family home was in the S.W. and in the heart of the Shaganappi neighbourhood. I loved all our neighbours and my friends and everything about our close knit community. The Shaganappi Community Center offered year round activities for kids and adults. We were so close to everything and if you ran everywhere, like most kids did, our home was only 10 seconds from my elementary school, 14 seconds from the playground and 60 seconds from the toboggan hills, skating rink and community center.

EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF ICE AND HOCKEY
My childhood recollections of winter often featured a typical sunny day and the freshly fallen snow. In this particular ice skating recollection, I see myself as a toddler holding my Mom's hand and moving my feet back and forth on the ice and going absolutely nowhere. I also imagined Mom hoping I would release her grasp and do a few laps around the rink but even at that young age I knew my limitations, because strapped securely to my winter boots were those funny double bladed bob skates and elegant moves on bob skates were unlikely for any novice skater.

By the age of 5, I was given a pair of real skates. Once steady and staying mostly upright, these scruffy old leather CCM skates were great for speeding around the rink. My brother Ronnie eventually showed me how to hold a hockey stick and shoot a puck at the net. It was great fun and I was slowly getting the hang of it. Then one day I took notice that my skates were brown and all my friends skates were white. Finally, after much hinting and possibly complaining, I received a fabulous birthday gift...a pair of gleaming white figure skates. I loved my girlie skates and immediately took to the ice but there was something different about the picks on my figure skates that made it difficult for me to properly use a hockey stick and move the puck around the ice and as you guessed the game of hockey was not for me.

As the new owner of these fancy pick skates, I had numerous visions of a much older me leading the glittering lineup of the Ice Capades or dazzling spectators and judges during the world skating competitions like Barbara Ann Scott had done years before. Mom saw this new interest of mine and signed me up for Saturday figure skating lessons at the community center. I was so eager and again envisioned myself flying through the air with my imaginary partner in an skin tight sequined costume. The lessons 1,2, and 3 were fun and I practiced all my moves evenings and weekends at the rink. Even though the weather got nastier and nastier and the ice got bumpier and lumpier, I eventually managed a pretty good spiral and figure eight without tripping on my picks and doing a face plant.

THE REWORKING OF A DREAM 
Every girl's dream of becoming a figure skating megastar generally plays out beautifully if she happens to be scheduled for lessons and coaching in the indoor skating arena or having the advantage of her mom and dad's annual membership at The Winter or  The Glencoe Club.


By lesson 4, I was miserable and lesson 5 dragged on in the bitter cold and my romantic notion of figure skating was shattered into a million frozen pieces and skinny little me, in my figure skating tights and skimpy skirt had one of those AH HA moments. As I did my last figure eight, I looked over the boards to see the well padded junior hockey team hopefuls, sweating away, huffing and puffing as they skated back and forth during their vigorous workout and it then it dawned on me - as young person, my destiny was not to spend my life on the ice and suffer through the frozen toes and fingers, the blinding blizzards, the endless perfection of ice dancing and constant costume fittings. My new dream was to get my Mom to enroll me in a less stressful indoor activity that perhaps I was more suited to like....
art courses at the Y.

Kitsilano Houses, Vancouver

Hello friends and art lovers,
Today I am reporting on our Fairfield Artists Studio Tour and I have posted my Kitsilano Houses painting.

Our 10th annual ART event, The Fairfield Artists Studio Tour happened on April 30th and May 1st. The weather was so perfect which made the art event even more upbeat and fun. The FAST (as we call it) was Victoria's first artist organized neighbourhood studio tour and we proudly celebrated our 10 year anniversary this April. This year we had 37 artists in the tour and tour visitors were offered the chance to meet a diverse cross section of well known and noted artists from all disciplines and inspirations.

Isabel, our long time friend, was very gracious to help us out that weekend with sales, information and cheerfully welcomed everyone who came through our door. Each day Isabel commented on how excited everyone was to have an opportunity to view the many styles of art, meet the artists in their studios and see their tools and materials for creating their art.

Over the 2 day event,Vic and I were so delighted and very encouraged by the 300 plus art tourists that came by to squeeze into our cozy 5 room home/studio. We encouraged everyone to snoop around and discover all the art in every corner of our art studios.

Finding the Time to Enjoy the Arts
We know how hectic everyones lives can get and if you came by our studio, we are so happy you could take some time out of your busy schedule to visit us. If we missed the chance to say hello and personally welcome you, Vic and I hope you enjoyed the selection of our collaborative ArtLife works and my Neighbourhood Series we had on hand.

Here's a link and a short interview with Vic and I plus few Fairfield artists on the studio tour.
 Many thanks to Efren of Exhibit -V for waiting patiently to capture us on video.

How long does it take you to do a painting?
One of the most popular questions during the studio tour was "how long does it take you to do a painting?"
Like my paintings, I often answer with a detailed answer
" it is a long process with several steps before I start painting. I research the location I want to paint and visit the area a few times. When the weather is pleasant, I do quick colour painting studies on location and pencil sketches and take a few snapshots to take back to the studio and when I have settled on the concept of the view I draw a rough sketch. I then enlarge the rough sketch in order to properly visualize the scale at which I want to create the final painting. When I am happy with the sketched view I want to paint, I start the final drawing."

Note about perspective
In the mid 1980's knowing how complex my Neighbourhood Series works were becoming, I studied courses in architectural rendering and perspectives and began a formal approach of drafting up my house structures and perspectives.

and I go on to say
"After working out all the compositional challenges in a final drawing on paper and feel I am satisfied with the look of the final drawing, I then transfer the drawing to my canvas or panel using graphite transfer paper sandwiched between my drawing and panel. The graphite paper is much like carbon paper but softer and not so harsh. By pressing and redrawing through the graphite paper, I am leaving a pencil like line on the surface of my panel or canvas. Once I have transferred all the outlines for my view, I can start my painting."

The outline drawing is quite basic in it's complexity and the real challenge comes with adding the details and vivid colour during the painting process. If I am working on a very detailed and complex view, I do not cover the whole surface with washes of under painting colours. I stay focused with one area at a time and finish the painting in the area I am working on. This method keeps the light quality and colours and textures of the image the same. Each area has 3 to 4 layers of paint from dark to light to get the textures and patterns of the trees, houses, land and seascape.

The Bottom Line
Depending on the size of the painting, the amount of small details and the number of different paintings and projects I am working on at the same time, the painting can take many weeks, months or possibly over a year to complete.

You might agree... it's a long and involved answer for a simple question.

Kitsilano Houses and the West End, Vancouver
by Barbara Weaver-Bosson
Acrylic painting 14 x 19 inches
Now available as a Giclee.

KITSILANO HOUSES inspiration

Over the years, I have spent many summers in Vancouver and marveled at the massive character homes in my favourite Vancouver neighbourhood of Kitsilano. As we speak the older distinctive residences are disappearing and in their place rise private homes of west coast architectural styles of this century.

 In my Kitsilano Houses painting, I have focused on a group of five homes, all with delightful character and individual charm. This view of the homes and the West End was accessible to me thanks to our good friends John and Terry who welcomed me to use their rooftop patio. My vantage point is so important and I am lucky to have been offered this comfortable setting to begin my Kitsilano neighbourhood painting. If you are familiar with Vancouver, the street location of my view is on McNicholl near Kits Beach and the Maritime Museum.

Like many of my neighbourhood paintings, this painting is a moment in time and as the weeks and months go by, the neighbourhoods in which we live evolve and change and take on new faces and architectural personalities.

Studio Tour Preparations

5x7 in. painting by Barbara Weaver-Bosson Fairfield Road, Spring Blossoms
   



Fairfield Artists Studio Tour
Since 1989, Vic and I have been transforming our cozy studio/ home into a welcoming creative public place during the spring/summer studio tour season. We are always happy to meet art lovers and curious folks and this is a perfect way to show everyone where we work and play. For our 2 day event, we open up our 5 studio spaces and rooms which are overflowing with paintings, prints and various works of art and quirky stuff. I will be happy to show you the big painting I am working on. This painting is the labour of love I was talking about in my previous blog Springtime in The Neighbourhood. By viewing this painting in progress you can see how I developed my personal method of painting my expansive neighbourhood views.

 April 30th and May 1st  11 am to 4 pm we welcome you to take the tour through the gorgeous neighbourhood of Fairfield and visit us and 37 other Fairfield artists in their studios and public community locations.

You will find each artist and studio space unique. If you have a chance to have a conversation with any of us, we will reveal our individual approaches to making art and give you a glimpse of how we all are making a difference in the art world here in this city and abroad. The tour artists welcome your questions and your interest in their personal visions whether it be in paint, digital art, photography, sculpture, fabrics, silver, gold and clay.

Local artist studio tours are fun and promote the importance of enjoying and supporting our Canadian arts and culture.

Springtime in the Neighbourhood

Hello Friends and Art Lovers,

Welcome to my very first blog entry.
Here you will find stories about my life, my art and also insight into my life with Victor Bosson, my Neighbourhood Series paintings and current art events.

 so...

Please keep scrolling for all my news regarding

1)  the current progress of my large Neighbourhood painting
2)  my print galleries locations
3)  the rumours that I have disappeared off the face of the earth
4)  info about my website

 For your convenience and for those who wish to know the gallery outlets for my limited edition prints and art cards, my current **updated print gallery locations** are listed below.

What's going on with that neighbourhood painting anyways?
As you know, I paint slowly, methodically, and with an unmeasurable amount of attention to detail and imaginative colours.... hence my not so detailed but colourful self portrait above.
My ultimate goal as an artist is that my neighbourhood paintings will always speak of my passion for Victoria and the character and community spirit that is inherent in the city we live in.

Painting A LABOUR OF LOVE ..... slow and steady
Due to the many shows, projects and ongoing challenges with my neck and shoulder injury, I must report I am working at a slow pace and more comfortably.

The most detailed and most expansive neighbourhood painting in progress is my view of GONZALES BAY, ROSS BAY, CLOVER POINT, MOSS ROCK AND THE FAIRFIELD NEIGHBOURHOOD area. This acrylic painting on panel measures 20 x 40 inches which is considered a large painting for me. My view point is from Walbran Park high atop the rocky hillside near the concrete outlook adjacent Denison Road.
NOTE For the first time ever, I have actually included our studio/home in this major painting. With artistic license, I have trimmed back some of our perimeter cedar trees so you can see where Vic and I live near Moss Rock. Many of our neighbours will be happy to see their colourful rooftops showing through some of the trimmed treed areas.

This painting is a truly a labour of love. Detail wise, it is unlike any of the expansive views I have created. I now realize that I can not predict the date it will be completed. This year or next? ...it is hard to say.
What I do know is that I am so looking forward to when my print galleries and I can show you the finished Giclee print of my neighbourhood painting. Many of you have stopped by our studio during our studio tours and have seen this painting in progress. If you have been inquiring at my print galleries about a print of this particular painting, I must say to you all..... thank you for being patient and thank you for understanding..

To see this work in progress, please visit our studio during the

MS and ArtLife
How to make the serious side of life less serious 
Over the years I have been busy painting and multitasking while assisting Vic with the on going challenges of his MS. Management of everyday stress and energy levels are always difficult for any family living with MS. One of the important roles in my life is to always be looking for ways to keep our life as normal and as simple as possible. I have found by doing this we are less likely to unravel and go completely bonkers and bolt out into the street and start raving about the price of printer ink and avocados! 


A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Vic and I both love to laugh and make up stories. Often these stories and ideas become the framework for new artworks. Our loony humour and love of satire plays into keeping stress at bay. This easy going brainstorming  eventually developed into putting our ideas into digital montages. I eagerly learned many of the art programs in our computer programs so I could assist Vic. Our individual styles and methods of art making are so different but by bringing our ideas together into montages, the ideas are meshed. These fun visual ideas and projects we now call ArtLife. 

ArtLife is all about laughing. Vic's visual ideas can be developed and become a reality through the use of his computer art skills and with the Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter programs. Our abundance of quirky ideas are integrated into digital montages and mixed media on panels and canvas. The ArtLife images are multi layered and take many weeks to create. I manage all the physical work like the panel preparations, the framing and often take over on the computer, printer, colour management and the technical detail work when Vic needs to rest.

Saving Energy
Through experience, I have found that Vic's daily energy levels are dictated by his MS. Some days are good and some days are bad and we just go with that. We are so grateful for all the time we get to spend together and we enjoy such a rich and creative life. Sharing our humour and helping each other is a valuable asset in our creative partnership in life and in art.

My Neighbourhood Series is alive and well.
My Neighbourhood Series is in its 27th year and is still a major inspiration for my personal vision and new paintings. As a painter, my life is so full of intriguing opportunities and varied interests. Amidst all the hours I enjoy painting in the studio, working with Vic, researching and documenting Victoria's urban landscape and architecture, traveling and doing group projects, my Neighbourhood Series remains an ever constant in my life. 
The Neighbourhood Series is an expansive body of work and expresses many things on many levels and I must admit it is one of the most complex subjects that has captivated me for almost 3 decades. It has opened up my eyes, my heart and forever connected me to my past and my present.

INSPIRATION
I can almost pinpoint the moment of inspiration on that fateful day twenty seven years ago. As I climbed to the top of Moss Rock and observed the expanse of the Fairfield neighbourhood rooftops and the Straits of Juan de Fuca, I felt an unforgetable exhillerating feeling... like the neighbourhood was the holding out her welcoming arms and giving me a big hug. What I did with that big hug was to paint with joy and colour the character and charm of my favourite Victoria neighbourhoods.

WEBSITE
Our website http://www.weaver-bosson.com/ which includes my Neighbourhood Series prints and card collections and the ArtLife works, has not been updated due to our technician has retired.
