OSWOA - Getaway 2

As the sun sets in cottage country the lights are turned on inside the buildings and give off a golden glow keeping the darkness at bay.

These glowing pin points of light are soon reflected into the lake leaving a rippling trail across the gently moving surface.

Cedars 1 - A Work in Progress

It is another hot humid and hazy day. The weather continues to be unseasonably warm even for this time of the year.

We do need rain as some of the trees are starting to droop and their leaves are turning brown.

These are some of the cedars on an island on Chemong Lake.
I did this watercolour sketch while out on the boat. There is still a little more work needs to be done before the painting is complete. I will post the finished piece at a later date.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Echinaechia - A Work in Progress

Today was the final day of the Cobourg Waterfront Festival and there were plenty of things going on including a performance by the Canadian Forces Parachute Team known as the Skyhawks.

Cobourg Waterfront Festival

Today is the first day of the Lions Club Art Show which is a part of the Cobourg Waterfront Festival














The show is held on the shores of Lake Ontario which on any warm summer day attracts a large crowd to the sandy beaches and today was no exception.


















With the bright sunshine it was nice that we had a breeze to keep the high heat and humidity away. Many of the people who came out to the beach for the day also come to visit the art show.
