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.

Summer Warmth

Even though it is barely winter, today actually, I am already pining for the warm days of summer.
I got back into the studio today do this quick sketch acrylic and ink sketch on water colour paper.

Cheating

Today is bright and sunny but still bloody cold.
I did not go out to do this piece. Instead I worked in my studio to do a quick sketch painting of the shore of Lake Ontario remembering when there was NOT 50 feet of ice built up along the shore.

Caribbean sketches

This Christmas I spent the Holidays with family on St. Maarten.
I had been their previously just briefly but this time I got to see more of the island.
The wind was warm but strong.
The days were partly cloudy but they moved across the sky quite quickly leaving just enough sun to feel the warmth but not really realize just how hot it was.
Here are some sketches from that week.
