We had absolutely fantastic weather for our almost 2 weeks on the island…the best weather of the whole summer! We swam almost every day and the nights were lovely and cool...
We got home from our holiday, arriving after 1am on Thursday night (Friday morning), and I then headed down on Friday afternoon to Morrisburg with a friend for the ‘Fall Fire’ pottery workshop weekend…I was exhausted but it was amazing too!
Now I am trying to get caught up with work and laundry…I am in a 1 day art festival this weekend and have been asked to join in another the weekend after that…very busy!
Haven’t had a chance yet to go through all the photos…but I’ll leave you with these…
LT and I had 4 plein air painting sessions…we painted the Ice House, which is one of the buildings on the island…at first we thought we would go around to all different locations, but we decided, instead, to focus on 1 thing and to see how we progressed through our sessions…will show you the paintings another time…
We would canoe to a flat island across from our island and spend the morning painting - for 3 or 4 hours…my dog, Shea, would swim across beside the canoe…he is a wonderful painting companion!
This is the Ice House…a beautiful little building with interesting rocks and trees around it…
