A Winter Walk

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.

Back to the Drawing Table

it’s been close to a year since I’ve pulled out my art supplies

I’m at my daughter’s cottage for several days and since she’s working up here we both thought it would be a good time for me to start putting some marks onto paper again. I gathered up a few supplies and my mixed media art journal and started with baby steps towards continuing my art journey.

It’s the perfect setting. Quiet and restful with wonderful views of the forest and the falling snow. Here’s my first piece after playing with collage and mark making.

Water, Water Everywhere – Thunder Beach

..our daughter and daughter-in-law just purchased a cottage close to Thunder Beach

A week ago we drove up there to have a look. Luckily the weather was good for driving.
