Found Waterfalls Yesterday

Ran out of cottage wifi space, so not uploading much.

This morning postcard

People have a really hard time understanding that someone is ok to be alone. Others keep planning things for me to do, and they really do believe it's something I must secretly want. After all, why would anyone just need solace and time to work on their own. Was advised yesterday that its not normal, I need to get out into the world.

Well I was out yesterday, and have a lovely canvas blocked in to work on today in addition to several sketches. And about a zillion mosquito bites, which irritate the hell out of me.

Cottage Morning

Still deciding on best view for painting. Would like one that includes the cottage, which is proving the biggest challenge. Sketched a postcard of flowers in the interim.







I really, really like this view from the porch, but no cottage in it. Still deciding then.

On Vacation in Northern Ontario

Arrive yesterday, so today just working on de-stressing. That should take up the first week.

The view is awesome; great cottage choice really. Too many mosquitoes for my taste, but that is unavoidable in Ontario. Drawing some little ink postcards to warm up and cool down. Dogs are napping in the porch with me. I could spend entire days in this porch. It's perfect.

In fact, it's probably good my time in the country is limited. I'm certain I'd return to being a completely landscape painter if I stayed too long. The morning light is remarkable, and the afternoon is soft and tangible. Lovely.



Now if only I'd brought someone along who cooks ...
