Road Trip 6

This image is a little closer to home. On the road with the Escarpment running low just down the hill. You know if you stop, the view will be great.

Road Trip 5

This image is on the road north in Ontario. It really could be any of our highways. 

You know there is another great view just around the winding bend.

Road Trip 4

This image is from a place I have been lucky enough to go and paint for many summers with my other artist pals.

This is almost at the end of the road in Willisville Ontario approaching Charlton Lake Camp.
We usually spend a day here painting the surroundings.

Road Trip 3

This week it is only beyond freezing cold - completely deceiving since the sun is out and it looks lovely. I will stay in though and just wish it was warmer.

This is somewhere in Georgia, coming up to the Great Smoky Mountains.

(So it's cold. It's windy. It's dull - yuck...)

That was the comment from last week - still stands today - freezing rain misty snowy stuff happening....

This is some highway somewhere in Ontario heading north.

So it's cold. It's windy. It's dull - yuck

So I have decided to spend my studio days on road trip paintings. I am basically envisioning when I can go on vacation again.

This is the first.

Warm Wind

I did this little pic when it was windy here. Not the warm, lake breeze blowing the lovely trees around, but a bone chillin' minus something crazy winter wind.
I would much rather it be warm.

Natures Bridge

In keeping with wishing for summer, I have done another quick pic of the LaCloche region of Ontario.
Depending on the wind and water levels, sometimes one rock outcrop can be joined to another. It just depends on whether you want to get wet or not when you walk across.

Natures little trick, it looks like solid ground, but sometimes you just suck into the mud.

Blue Sky?

Today is a warm for January, but it is grey and miserable.
I needed some sunshine and had to make my own blue sky as the weather channel lied again.
Partly sunny my a**.

Anyway, this pic is from the LaCloche region in Ontario. A lovely lake near Willisville - calm and filled with lily pads and great views. There are hardly any homes and the cottages that do dot the shoreline are few and far between. I have been down this route a few times and will never get sick of the quiet and the view.
