Ucluelet Skies

“Ucluelet Skies”, Acrylic on Studio Canvas, 24x48, Michelle Morelan 2009

I am on my way to Ucluelet for work, and have been thinking about the coming of the fall season. It is especially evident on the west coast of Vancouver Island, where the temperate rain forest creates misty wet conditions made only for ferns and mushrooms. The skies are kind of eerie, and seem to cry very slow tears.

Note: This piece is done in sepia, browns, whites and umbers with just a touch of blue (Paynes Gray)…the computer image does not reproduce well, showing it on the blue side. Browns are the toughest colour to scan or photograph.

Tobi Fairley Interiors

 

 

This entry is for Scott in Virginia, as he pursues his Master’s Degree in ID. I appreciate your kind comments…happy sketching!!

Tobi’s rooms are a pleasure to render because of her bold use of colour, pattern and contrast. Thanks for the inspiration Tobi!

Away with my hubby…it’s been a while.

A Meeting Space in SketchUp

 

 

What do I love? I love the contrast of walnut and modern white. I love the juxtaposition of texture and smooth. I love the bubble lamps by Nelson. I love red and brown…the Wishbone chair by Wegner, and more filing and surface space than I need. This is how all of those things would ideally come together in a new meeting/work space. Cover the cabinets with a linen cloth, and you have a great dining space for special occasions.
