It looks like my only impetus to paint lately is a mini
vacation. I just can’t seem to get in the studio these
days.
I was invited by friends to a place just outside Gravenhurst
ON for the first week of July. It was horridly hot in the city, but fantastic
by the lake. Lots of swimming, reading, great eating and a bit of painting.
There is a great island in view with a lovely rock outcrop
and tons of trees. It was really interesting to see how it looked differently
throughout the day as the light changed. I actually painted early each day, not
too long after sunrise but the best light was late in the day. I was chastised for my picture taking as I did not wait for
that perfect time around dinner where the light was directly on the island,
just before the first shadow appeared along the tree line.
I was ambitious at first doing 2 paintings a day for 2 days.
Then Canada Day arrived and I figured a true vacation day was in order.

I did do a few more pics the next day and those are the
works of the second week posted here.
