Kingston, Ontario

Just posting some photos taken at my sisters place, just outside of Kingston. They're finally getting some snow this year, and of course, be careful what you wish for, because they certainly have snow now.

 I like this picture because it looks like someone's been sketching in the snow, with all the lines and spots. Very intriguing.

 I'm fascinated by horizonal type pictures. I took tons, but am just showing a few.

They have a hideaway built down along the border of swamp, built on a rocky crest overlooking a serene landscape. Perfect when a bit warmer if one is thinking about sketching, but perfect now to get out of the wind for a spell.

One of my favourite trees. This one I've painted years before; it's been hit by lightning several times and still stands today.

New Year, New Project

Working on a couple new chessboards, just because. Actually the sculptural aspect was completed earlier this year (I guess last year now), but I'm just getting to painting it now. And also have started to paint my next one, and am designing the pieces separately in one of my sketchbooks. This one will be based on candy, many different kinds and meanings of candy.
