Summer 2018

"All in all, it was a never to be forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world."

—L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams

Forest Trail
by Jilly Watson

Jilly has a passion for hiking in the West Coast rainforests and her love of the outdoors is reflected in her paintings.

In the summertime Jilly likes to paint en plein air. At other times she works from photographs in her studio.

"I paint to express the wonder that I feel living in our west coast environment and I paint with bright colours to celebrate the joy I feel when painting". - Jilly Watson

 
“Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course,

the smallest tingling sip;

change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in.”

– Ray Bradbury

Jem, the bookstore dog, having a much deserved beach break

 
"Summer was on the way; Jem and I awaited it with impatience. Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill."
―Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
