Little Lake Trees 1 and 2

Today I set up the display at the 9th Annual Purple Onion Festival held in Millennium Park in Peterborough.

I was joined by fellow artists Jewell Allington, Jane Hall and Emil Varga.

We had a fairly steady stream of people coming through the building throughout the day.

In the afternoon I took a break and walked along the pathway by Little Lake.

I did this drawing of a maple tree with the sun on the lake and the autumn colours in the background.

On my way back to the show I stopped at this spot which featured four maple trees with various coloured foliage with the sun lighting up the autumn colours on the far shore.

When I returned to the building it wasn't long before I had to take the show down and head back home.

Millennium Park Waterfall I

Today we had rain in the early morning, but it had cleared out before I left to go painting with the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Group at Millennium Park in Peterborough.

It was going to be another very hot 90F (32C) and humid 104F (40C) day and the Park which is on the Otonabee River and has plenty of shade trees would be an ideal place to be outside drawing or painting.














After wandering through the part and taking lots of reference photographs I decided to do a drawing of the waterfalls in the park.

At lunchtime, we headed to the Silver Bean Café, which has a deck that overlooks the Otonabee River and enjoyed our lunches and beverages there. After lunch I decided to head home and relax.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.
