<p>There are some places we go and some scenes we see and they remain with us forever.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sakinaw Lake is just such a place, providing scenes that we remember forever and that is a good thing because we never know when the last night might&nbsp;be the last look.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Just like Arbutus #1, my camera is not registering the true blue of the background. What's that, 'maybe I should get a better camera?'</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well that might help but until then you will just have to see this one in person too.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Along The Fence</title><id>http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/9/29/along-the-fence.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/9/29/along-the-fence.html"/><author><name>Vic</name></author><published>2011-09-29T22:45:18Z</published><updated>2011-09-29T22:45:18Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://vicstudio.squarespace.com/storage/Along%20the%20fence%20web%20ready.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1317336376062" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>One of those bright winter days where the frost clings to everything but without the sun cannot sparkle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It adds to the thought that occurs as your eyes follow the fence ' into the forest, dark and deep'.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>From Stewart Farm #1</title><id>http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/9/26/from-stewart-farm-1.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/9/26/from-stewart-farm-1.html"/><author><name>Vic</name></author><published>2011-09-26T21:22:01Z</published><updated>2011-09-26T21:22:01Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://vicstudio.squarespace.com/storage/From%20Stewart%20Farm%201%20web%20ready.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1317072172953" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>You need to see this one in person. For some reason my camera is making the background a green blue but in reality the background is a real BC blue - a blue like the colour of the sky in August when there wasn't a cloud in sight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This was one of those days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Arbutus is the most sensual of trees - its shape and lines like a dancer caught in a single frame.</p>

<p>A familiar view but the interpretation,&nbsp;as Wordsworth wrote, is a recollection in tranquility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That's the magic and beauty of dreams, that's the luxury of painting where we can make the colours anything we want.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Sakinaw Dream #2</title><id>http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/8/28/sakinaw-dream-2.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/8/28/sakinaw-dream-2.html"/><author><name>Vic</name></author><published>2011-08-28T04:28:00Z</published><updated>2011-08-28T04:28:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://vicstudio.squarespace.com/storage/2011-4%20ready%20for%20web.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1314505940984" alt="" /></span></span>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The wonderful aspect of dreams is that colours and shapes are interchangeable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This series&nbsp;(Sakinaw Dream) plays with shapes and colours - reversing warm and cool shades.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Sunset Across the Lake</title><id>http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/1/31/sunset-across-the-lake.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.vjv.ca/latest-work/2011/1/31/sunset-across-the-lake.html"/><author><name>Vic</name></author><published>2011-01-31T06:24:13Z</published><updated>2011-01-31T06:24:13Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://vicstudio.squarespace.com/storage/Diptech%20Red%20Rocks%20ready.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1296455178015" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Continuing&nbsp;a little more of the mystery -</p>
<p>what is it you see across the lake? Is it even a lake? Might it not be a calm ocean bay or a field or even sand?</p>
<p>A scarlet sky from the setting sun or the glow of a fire?</p>
<p>&nbsp;Is it smoke or fog or snow gracing the other side? And why are the rocks red? What rocks you ask?</p>
<p>This is the beauty of art - it can be what you want it to be. It is what you see when you want to see it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hang these two so close they touch or move them apart and watch the scene stretch.</p>
