New Paintings

11"x14" Oil on canvas. Brighton Legion Highlander
Husband is back to work, paintings are getting finished up. This piece is for an Arts Quinte West display and sale at the Trenton Scottish-Irish Festival September 10. Two more pieces are in the works, more pippers and a drummer.


12"x24" Oil on Canvas. Presqu'ile Marsh
I painted this piece in the shelter of the observation tower at the Presqu'ile Provincial Park Boardwalk. It is an incredibly peaceful spot and a beautiful walk through the marsh and cedar and cottonwood forest.

J helping me with my last blog post. He thought we should be doing some farming, not sitting at the computer.

20"x30" Oil on Canvas
Presqu'ile light painting is off to a good start. Coincidentally, Nana and Poppa are visiting and I finally have something to show. The finished piece will be framed.

Getting some work done!

Two days of not boating = two blog posts in two days and two finished paintings.

July has been a busy month with husband off work, boating, company and a few mini holidays. Did I mention boating? It's not bothering me that the past two days have been too windy to boat. Husband has the boat clean and shiny. Little guy has been busy overseeing the job. I'm getting some paintings that I started painting at Presqu'ile completed. Plus, the neglected bog is being attended to.

Wednesdays in July I could be found at Presqu'ile Provincial Park. What a day to look forward too. Sit in the shade and paint at one of my favourite places to hang out in. Visit with the happy campers and holiday makers. I'm sure they weren't all happy but everyone that stopped at the Artist in the Park sign to visit was. Thanks for stopping and to Jenny, Francis, Emmy and Sara who painted with me. I have four more Wednesdays as Artist in the Park. One of those days should generate a painting that I will be donating to Friend's of Presqu'ile for them to raffle as a fundraiser this fall. Watch for a preview in a post soon.

Hope to see you at Presqu'ile
