A gorgeous view from the Ferry as we leave Horseshoe Bay BC.

Horseshoe Bay at Sunset

A few weeks ago I met with a friend in Vancouver and was invited to stay overnight at their place in Half Moon Bay on the Sunshine Coast of BC.

Here is a shot of Howe Sound and the Gulf Islands at sunset on the deck of the BC Ferry, Queen of Surrey that travels from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale every day.

It really felt so magical to be on the deck breathing the sea air and enjoying the evening.

If you ever visit the West Coast of Canada, be sure to take a ferry trip with BC Ferries from Horseshoe Bay. I visited the Sunshine Coast a few times over the years, and this view is one of the many sites you will see. I love the shape of Anvil Island in the center of the painting.

This is the second time that I have used Watercolor Board, which is a piece of Watercolor Paper glued to a hard cardboard substrate. No stretching is required. The painting surface is a bit different from watercolor paper in that it seems to absorb the pigment quicker. However once you get used to it, you may want to switch over and never have to stretch watercolor paper again.
