West Side story..




'On the West Side'  34x28"; oil and soft pastel,
charcoal;  Kathleen Faulkner

The weather is different over on the west side.  
The fog stays longer.. wind blows harder and the temperature coming off the water is usually a couple degrees cooler.  The west side looks out to the San Juan Islands.. an area protected by the rain shadow.  Less rain, more sun.  I've seen cactus on some of the islands further west.

Today is all about the same.  Grey day, not too cold.  
A good day to walk on the west side...
no wind.

I never walk in those woods when it's windy.

    Kathleen, this picture gave me an instant memory of the floatshack I used to live in with my sons, the island we were cabled to looked just like that in our little grotto! Beautiful! Thanks!
