Postcards From The Island
Tuesday, October 10th, 2023
While on holiday here in Campbell River BC, I found a set of 24 watercolor pencils in a second-hand shop for only $2, and a pack of 4 x 6″ watercolor paper postcards for only 50 cents. During the next week (only while I’m here) I plan to paint small sketch-series of local sights.

Native to eastern Canada and the US., sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum) are the showiest variety during Autumn, with colder nights producing deeper red colors. They are also the primary source of maple syrup, as well as hardwood lumber used for furniture and flooring. The sugar maple leaf is the central emblem on the Canadian flag.
