January 2013 This was my second Vancouver Island painting that I began before Christmas. It was inspired by one of my walks through Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary. While I was walking along the trail I was pleasantly startled by a chirping bird that landed in the tree where I was passing. I stopped to appreciate it when more and more birds appeared, as if out of nowhere, and soon there was a chirping festival in the grove of trees where I quietly stood.
