Take a breath and soak up the sunshine in this bright summer scene painted by artist Robert S. Hyndman. Known for his portraiture, landscapes, and work as an official WWII war artist, Hyndman’s career spanned over 70 years. His landscapes, like this coastal scene of Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island in July 2004, are often rendered in vivid colour and reflect the artist's deep love of nature. This work is one of several scenes of Qualicum Beach Hyndman painted throughout his later career.
