"Arbutus at Water's Edge" 24x30"
Acrylics seemed the appropriate medium to capture this scene at Welbury Bay. Several students and I hiked along a narrow path skirting this property which juts into the water.

About Me
- Name: Val
- Location: Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada
Val Konig is well-known on the Salt Spring Island art scene, teaching watercolour and acrylics year-round in her home studio. For several years she studied under world-class painter Allan Edwards, who spent his latter years teaching there. She has received instruction from some of North America's finest artists: Robert Genn, Judi Betts, Christopher Schink, Brian Johnson, and Rex Brandt, to name a few. British Columbia's rugged coastline with its islands, moody sea and sky has had a strong infuence on her painting. Her love of flowers and gardening is evidenced in her floral paintings. "For many years I have focussed on light and its effect on the subject. Back-lighting and cast shadows are particularly exciting for me. Since light (or its absence) can affect us all very powerfully, it will always be a major consideration in my paintings." Her paintings can be seen at the following Salt Spring Island locations: Waterfront Gallery, ArtCraft, and her own annual show with her students at ArtSpring. On Vancouver Island her work can be seen at Honeymoon Bay Retreat. Their website is: www.honeymoonbayretreat.com.
