Ah Ha!! Figured it out.

Took me awhile, but I've figured out (I think) how to update the new blog design. Feeling rather foolish at the moment too, but that'll pass. Whatever.

Just wanted to add a few photos from the Canadian north vacation that I'm on, although I should be including some pictures of a car, as it seems that I've been doing a lot of driving.

Stopped to photograph two deer grazing by the side of the road in Ganoque - wonderful. Very Canadian, I know, I know.

And off they go! Awesome tails on high alert.

Found a little "fixer upper" in the countryside. Not sure if I'm ready to purchase, but loved the place right off.

Might have to actually move this tree. Eventually.

Note the turret in the background, which used to be part of the house. Awesome. Needs some work still.

More milkweeds. I seem to have a latent desire to photograph these, as I have loads of pics. Here the light is not quite proper, but it does scream "I'm going to snow any minute now, so hurry up and take the photo!". Managed to be on the way back before the flakes started to fall.

... and snow it did! The world was white again before the afternoon light was gone. Found this other little place on the way back, but don't let the power lines deceive you. I think they were just to get ones hopes up. No power here!

Illustrations for Roddy's Book

Well I have no excuse for not blogging more frequently lately, simply saying I've been busy doesn't seem to cut the mustard. I have finished editting my brothers second fantasy novel, and decided to also do the chapter start illustrations as a new and different sort of project.

I actually haven't done any illustrating since college, so it was kind of fun. Of course, my brother has changed his mind about the kind of illustrations he wants for the book (now just wants to illustrate the animales/creatures of the book) thus I'm not so interested. Now I'm more interested in finishing my own novel and illustrating it; perhaps I'm best suited to being in charge of a project.

Obviously I'm inbetween paintings at the moment, and really just don't know where I want to go with my painting either. I'm still at odds with myself, something I have to rectify soon. It's complicated.
