Birch trees in Spring.

Lynne and i have been very productive, creative and we've had a lot of fun.  We got some things worked out for the upcoming Fall Art Workshop i'll be organizing here in Baddeck.  She's a great help cos she's got those kinda smarts also!!

We've cleaned up the 'painting room' so no-one will even imagine what we did there!!!   We also got to watch 2 very girly movies while here alone!   The other night we watched Still Alice...oh my god, what a sad but amazing movie....then last night we went for something a bit more light and romantic, Love Is You Need, with Pearce Bronson - so good and sweet!

Now we'll head off for a good hike cos it's turning into a very lovely, sunny afternoon.

the extras:  another impressionistic image of birch trees in spring...using sumi ink and gesso for the underpainting, then pastels rubbed, stroked and worked on top.   Lynne doing a very lovely painting of the apple trees outside our window!
