Bowyer Island in Autumn’s Arms, Howe Sound, British Columbia

Oil on linen.

48x30"

Bowyer Island rests in the silver waters of Howe Sound, its slopes glowing with autumn gold beneath soft rain clouds. Mist softens the distant mountains, while golden trees and dark evergreens frame the view. A gentle light falls across the island, bringing warmth to the cool greys and blues of the water and sky.

This painting captures the quiet romance of autumn on the West Coast, when a brief touch of sunlight feels especially precious. Between the open water and the cloud-covered mountains, the island seems sheltered in the season’s embrace. It is a moment of stillness, inviting the viewer to linger where the rain clouds meet the golden light.
