Something New

I've been trying a few new things in the past few weeks. This is my first finished Landscape in a while. I hope to have a few more coming soon. I took this photo up in Algonquin Provincial Park in 2013. To say that it was overdue is an understatement.

Fun Facts: I took 1500 photos that weekend (Most I'd ever taken in such a limited time). My daughter came down with the flu and spent four hours in the tent sleeping off the worst of it (No, I didn't take any photos of her while she was like this). I also discovered that if you get up in the dark, walk through the fog not seeing another soul in the campsite, when you get to the waterfront there are more photographers set up than paparazzi. I had never seen anything like it before. It took awhile to find a spot to set up without getting another camera in the shot. (That was a different photo than above)

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
