Winter
January 8, 2012
It has been quietly thrilling to once again become reaquainted with the four seasons. Vancouver–my city for over twelve years–effectively enjoys a very prolonged Spring and a very prolonged Autumn. Indeed, on rare occasions there are days of snow, and days of oppressive heat, but they remain rare.
Moving to the Interior–specifically to Kamloops–in December of 2007, was a sudden re-introduction into what Winter truly is all about. The day of our move turned into the biggest blizzard I’ve ever experienced, then or since. Driving up the Coquihalla Highway was treacherously risky, its two lanes effectively reduced to a cow path. And from that moment on, I have learned to love all over again the unique characteristics of each of the Four Seasons, for Kamloops is surrounded by a wonderful and distinctly different landscape which has captivated my artistic spirit!
Above all, it is Winter which I’ve come to revel in the most. . . .

Yes, a Church, Cornel. This Church is Sacred Heart Cathedral, a Roman Catholic Church. The original Church from the early 1900s burned down, and this is the rebuilt version of it.
We have two Orthodox Churches in Kamloops, British Columbia, where I live. One is Ukranian, and the other is Greek.
I really like your icon paintings. I especially love the Madonna and Child ones.
