Michael Haasjes, "Landscape in Oil," 2019

Opening Reception on Saturday, September 7th from 1 to 3.

First up on the Fall agenda is "Landscape in Oil" by Michael Haasjes.

A painter for over 30 years, Michael has captured the beauty of Vancouver Island in his wonderful paintings. More colourful than any travel brochure, you’ll be transported to Witty’s Lagoon, East Sooke Regional Park, Oak Bay, and the Gorge - feel the spray as you gaze across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Beecher Bay, and French Beach while the storm clouds roll in.

Although some of the paintings are plein air, the majority have been created in the studio, and this includes one or two abstract creations. Michael tries to capture how a location makes him feel and then to express this feeling in his work.
