Wow…summer started off with a heat wave and it seemed to last for weeks. We don’t have air conditioning in our house, so we are really feeling it!…Good thing we have a pool. In May, I did a weekend trip up to Muskoka with my husband and parents. We stayed at the JW Marriott in […]

Well the Christmas break this winter was absolutely freezing, with even my dogs not wanting to go outside for very long. Five minutes into our walks they would be lifting up their paws into the air and looking at me like: Why are you making us do this? Dreaming of warmer temperatures and sunshine, and […]

Summer weather finally arrived in September this year! Our whole family did more swimming in September than we did all summer, with the cooler rainy summer we had. In August,  I had a shared show open at the Kingston Glass Studio & Gallery. Here is a photo Dave snapped of me with my Rock Dunder […]

I can’t believe summer is already half over! July was an eventful month for me starting with celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in Ottawa with my daughter and her boyfriend, followed by an Art Retreat in the Laurentians of Quebec at landscape painter Gordon Harrison’s lake house. This year, as last, I brought my daughter Madelaine […]

Spring just rushed by, being busy with work, family, and gardening as well as creating. I just tried to fit as much as I could, taking advantage of the longer hours of daylight hours. I just LOVE the light! In April, I participated in a weekend opening and art show at Manotick Framing Gallery, along […]

Winter 2017 Winter started off for me this year as our first snow storm hit in November as I was visiting my painting friend Julie for the weekend at her beautiful waterfront home in Perth. She invited me along with 2 other painting friends, Jill and Linda. We ate great food, talked and laughed a […]

Fall 2016 Everyone was wondering what the leaf colour would be like this year after the dry summer we had. It turned out to be gorgeous! I started taking fall photos in Muskoka and Algonquin Park at the very beginning of October and am still taking shots in my area of Napanee closer to the […]

Summer 2016  Summer, one of my favourite seasons! I just love being outdoors swimming in lakes, kayaking, camping , star and sunset gazing as well as looking at beautiful gardens. This past June I participated in the lovely outdoor art show called Art Among The Ruins in Newburgh, Ontario. It is such a gorgeous show […]

This is one of my favourite times of year. Longer daylight hours, the bright greens of the new leaves opening up and all the spring buds and flowers. I just love the flowering apples, crab apples, magnolia and lilacs….so fleeting, but so gorgeous and some enchanting fragrances.  Here are a couple spring photos that I […]

Although spring has finally arrived, it still feels like winter as I woke up to snow this morning (April 3). Surprisingly, I still have had an urge to paint winter scenes of snow and the gorgeous tree shadows in interesting shades of blue, purple and aqua. I am really amazed by this urge, as anyone […]
