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.

The front of this chair is a rendition of the fossil of a Cycad leaf from the first species of palm-like trees that grew about 50 million years ago. The original Cycad leaf fossil was discovered in a Wyoming riverbed. The circumference on the back of this chair has an informal mosaic embedded with pebbles and authentic fossils of an extinct clam I found in a playground in the Dallas, Texas area. The extinct genus of shells called Myalina are estimated to be 345 – 225 – million years old.
Completing the back of the chair, the surface is textured along with patterns of the bark and leaf scars of a fossilized Paleozoic Lepidodendron, a primitive species of the very first trees on earth, reaching heights of 130 feet (40 m) tall, with leaves that grew flat directly along the bark around 400 million years ago.
