The Good and Not So Good

…days 6 and 7 of my Art Journey

Not everything that I post will be good. I do feel, however, that I should post my artworks, good or bad so that I can see and have a record of my progress. I know that I’m not a particularly good artist when I draw realistic subjects but I’d like to get better so I’m going to try to improve my drawing skills. Instead of flowers I’m going to try my hand at animals.

My first attempt in my Art Journey for 2025 is that of a Frenchie. I also went back to the collage that I had started up at the cottage and added more marks and a couple of old photographs that I came across when I was sorting through my collage papers.

…while waiting for the laundry to be done I did find some inspiration to work in my journal

I’ve always loved drawing florals so I picked up my Micron pen and started to draw over the collage I had glued down last night.

Last Day at the Cottage

…after 6 wonderful days with Andrea and Olive

This is the first time in many years that I’ve experienced this much snow. Our cottage on Christian Island ( a mere 10 minutes from here to the ferry dock) is not winterized and the road up the north shore is not ploughed regularly, if at all.

While Andrea logs onto work today, I’ll be doing laundry and packing to go home. Once that is done I may do some more art or continue reading my book, Doppelgänger. Yesterday I prepped a couple of pages in my art journal and I might continue with one or both pages if I’m inspired.

Hopefully we’ll find some time after lunch to go for another walk. It’s considerably warmer today and it has finally stopped snowing.

…more snow

Since Sunday the snow has come down every day. There’s a good 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) on the ground and it just keeps coming. Andrea and I were going to go for a drive but thought better of it when we checked the forecast.

Olive loves the snow. The worst part for her and probably for her humans is getting dressed to go out.

Once outside you can see from the snow on the railings how much more snow had fallen.
