Cloud Diaries

Date: July 7 – October 6, 2025
Place: Victoria International Airport Lounge

It is common for artists to revisit themes over and over, capturing what they love in different colours, moods, and light. In the morning, I arrive early, before the sky shows any hint of light. I make my way down the rocky slope to the water in the darkness—the warm summer breeze awakening my senses.

From my vantage point at the water’s edge, I wait with my tripod balanced on the rocks. Just barely out of reach of the lapping waves, I have a perfect view of the elm tree on the island in the distance. My 50mm lens extends perfectly to each edge of the mouth of the bay—a perfect crop. I return again and again, capturing the sky and the light on different days. I have learned to leave judgment behind, as I have been surprised many times by skies that defy conditions that don’t seem conducive to beautiful colours.

The sky that is about to unfold in those crucial moments of dawn is always unknown—like a gift being carefully revealed, second by second. I wait, ready with my tripod and camera, poised to capture the colours as they fleetingly unfold with the first light. The little elm is a sentinel, my focal point—a witness to me, as I am to it, and to the passing currents of water and clouds moving through the strait. These are my cloud diaries—a record of the passing days and light.

Time: 5:00 p.m. PST on July 11, 2024, ending at 5:00 p.m. PST on July 12, 2024
Place: SquareFootShow.com – Online Only
Square Foot Show began as a small, annual art party at Julia Veenstra’s studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada – each piece just 12×12 and at a single price. Since 2020, it has exploded into an online “Black Friday of art”, with collectors and artists spanning the globe and many artists selling out in just minutes. We love nothing more than connecting thousands of collectors from across the world with incredible artwork from artists they would never otherwise encounter, all through our fun and fast-paced virtual shows. This show looks to be no exception.
Each piece, from every artist, is still the same price ($350 CAD / $300 USD) with free shipping!
The show begins at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern on Thursday, July 11, 2024 and we’ve extended its hours. The show lasts for 24 HOURS – ending on Friday, July 12 at 8pm Eastern!
