Dundas Valley Farm



Had a wonderful afternoon painting on the "Primavera" Farm last Tuesday. This was from three weeks before looking towards the school. Fantastic scenery with a view of the Dundas Valley!

September Week

One of the last paintings done on the final beautiful day at Arrowhead. Had run out of several colours. Finished it by memory last week. I look at it and feel the melancholy experienced when the crowds have left and things are closing down for the winter. There are still footprints on the beach and the occasional
sand castle, but no children.

Golden Fields


We couldn't go out painting today because of the rain. This painting was done two weeks ago when we painted at the same location planned for today. Oh well. Too bad.

Dhalias in Red



Love those Dhalias! We bought the tubers a garage sale for a buck! They have flourished this year. Have gotten loads of pleasure from them-maybe it's worth digging them up and storing them over the winter.

Windy Day-Arrowhead



Hello, we are back from our travels and revelling in the splendour of fall. The last hurrah of the season and we will soon have no more flowers, raspberries, grass to cut, no more bare feet and no more colourful leaves on which to feast the eyes. Thank you Lord for the seasons!

Magnetawan Rocks



On our holiday we drove up to Magnetawan because the weather was lousy and the scenery there is beautiful. Practised painting rocks on a beautiful picnic area beside the falls and dam in the Magnetawan River. On this side of the rock there was a bit of protection from the cold wind.

White Birch in Arrowhead #231



On the campsite looking up into the top branches of a birch tree. This was a sunny day!
