Week 30-Sept 17-23 - White Boxes in a Field

I actually painted this week in my new studio. 

I had to force myself to stop rearranging everything and just pick up a brush.

I decided to carry on with images from my day of painting on the Escarpment on August. While walking through the lush fields I could see this great cluster of bee hives. The stark white against all of that colour made them really pop out of the landscape.

Week 29 - Aug 27-Sep 2 - A Day on the Escarpment

Yes, I was back at it again this week. 

I spent most of this summer preparing to move, so painting took a back seat. I was pleased, however to spend a day with a painting pal, Jan Yates in a lovely area behind her home on the Niagara Escarpment, where everyway you turned there was something beautiful to look at.

One view was a wide open field, another area was lined by gorgeous pines and many hay bales sat in the middle. Another was rolling hills and yet another, rambling grape vies and goldenrod. It was difficult to decide what to work on and I am sure I will do more work based on this afternoon.

The day was perfect and it was fun to get back outside and paint.

Fall Colour Starting

I hate to admit it, but the trees are starting to change. The subtle colour on the hill was lovely.

Red Barn

The contrast of this great red barn against the surrounding green was stunning.

Day Ending

As the day got later, the sun was starting to set behind the pines on the hill.
