As the rock fractured and rolled, the trees were buried deep. When all movement stopped, renewal began. The forest was up to the challenge, especially the little one; a perch on the very lip of a crack.

The precariously leaning tree sits in contrast to the solid strength of the cedar giants which are unaffected by the ever deepening snow. Soon enough that tree will fall and be washed away by the raging torrent of spring, but that is another painting. https://www.jocwillems.com/events daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://www.jocwillems.com/events/2025/10/1/federation-of-canadian-artists-limitless-exhibition monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5414979de4b0fb5c3b4c3a65/094494c2-e19b-4c43-9d49-492183c4a215/All+3+paintings.jpg Events - Federation of Canadian Artists: Limitless Exhibition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jocwillems.com/events/2025/4/1/online-federation-showcase monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5414979de4b0fb5c3b4c3a65/e011aa40-f671-4dd2-bf84-1973275c05f8/All+three+paintings.jpg Events - Online Federation Showcase - Make it stand out Static Flow 20x16” - Gouache Still Beautiful 16x20” - Gouache Toward Peace 16x20” - Gouache https://www.jocwillems.com/events/2026/3/3/awakening-spring-members-showcase-at-pearl-ellis-gallery monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5414979de4b0fb5c3b4c3a65/f80b6032-e66b-44ea-835b-a699c5607265/From+Other+Times+edited2.jpg Events - "Awakening": Spring Members Showcase at Pearl Ellis Gallery - From Other Times It’s about change.

One of many little waterfalls in the Comox Valley. The anomaly is in the lights and the darks, in the living and the dead, and the constant flow through time. A glimpse into a soul.
