The Coast Collective

While the view across Esquimalt Lagoon to Royal Roads anchorage was rather sombre on this rainy day, the view of the laden gallery walls within was bright, warm and colorful. The above photo was taken from a window of Pendray House, built in 1928 as a summer home and now in use as the gallery showroom of the Coast Collective, featuring the works of many local artists, with new shows mounted monthly. This gallery, where Hatley Park meets Esquimalt Lagoon is a wonderful place to visit after a walk in the forest.

This is a great study room. I would like to have such a room. People in this room will achieve great things. With balsamic and philosophy in the view window at an angle you've captured in these photos.
Best regards.

Looks like flower theme on this occasion. Always interesting to talk to artists I think.
