Another painting on an old piece of pine from a century old home. Crabapples along the neighbours's driveway were the subject of this painting. Often the barn board is so beautiful that it seems to paint itself!

This one was painted on the beach at Arrowhead Lake. Yes, the colours can really be this intense. This painting is belongs to a family member. Have to study snow-we saw lots of it today. The soft colours of the shadows and the sun on the wide fields in and around Owen Sound are a vision of beauty. Thank the Lord.

Saw a picture of Snowdrops in our area in the paper today. Should check ours-unfortunately we don't have a window that looks out on them! Have to wait for the tulips for that. Here, instead, is some more coreopsis.

Just registered for an outdoor plein air course. This is the kind of stuff that gets me" into the zone" as the instructor said we have to be. Beautiful rolling hills and spring evenings-so lovely-can't wait!

This was done last summer at Inverlochy-close to Parry Sound. There was a wealth of paintable material! Worked on it a bit last week and really enjoyed reliving the experience of painting at this beautiful spot.

T'was a busy day today! Bible Study this morning and paint course this afternoon. Tell you about that another day. This is the zebra grass an hour later after the wind got at the snow. Like this one better!

Saturday I could see the Zebra grass outside the bay window, while the snow was falling in huge flakes. For a short while, the grass and everything else had a wonderful coating of snow-didn't know what to try to paint first. The old hydrangea blossoms with their mobcaps or the coneflowers scraping the window so ended up trying to paint this wonderful grass. So much shape and colour, especially in it's dry, winter state.
