Mietz Road, November

Birch and Balsam

Catching the first snow on my garden. Even the most hardy perennials have their leaves frozen after three nights of hard frost.  

Sullivan Lake

 

One of the many beautiful lakes in our area just before sundown. 

Moonrise and Pink Cloud

Fall Landscape

A cloudy day with glimpses of sunlight, the Laurentians in the distance. 

Sunday Morning, Papineau Creek

This beautiful spot on the Papineau Creek at Maynooth offered so many great painting opportunities that it was difficult to choose which composition to paint. I chose this view because I loved how the sunlight shone through some of the foliage with a beautiful warm yellow light and reflected off other spots harmonizing the whole scene. It was quiet and blissful and I was accompanied by some wonderful painters, Robert Strickland, who led the workshop, and my longtime painting buddies, Marina Laliberte and Sue Simington. 

Abandoned Railway Line

Painted on a cold, gusty, late Saturday afternoon when the sun came out for a brief visit. 

Petawawa River at the Catwalk

This small study was painted late afternoon in August,  the light was perfect.

February Brights

This will be my last post for a few days as I now change from my artist mode to my nurse mode .  I'm working the next few days so will not have time to paint.
