    I tried something new!

    October 18, 2025 / No Comments

    Painting quickly with acrylics on the fly is not too bad but I wanted to have something that I could do even more quickly, like during my hour lunch break. So I tried coloured pencils and was very happy with the results. I love the detail you can get and with colour!

    Plein Art, Peggy’s Cove – Day 7

    October 3, 2025 / No Comments

    I braved the ‘Frost Alert’ and wore thermals! Coldest yet and windy. Had to wear gloves at the start. Beautiful day though and glad I did it. The last day of Plein Art this year and I made 6 out of the 7 days. Finished 4 paintings and started new one.

    Plein Art, Peggy’s Cove – Day 5

    October 1, 2025 / No Comments

    ….and might be the last. 6 Degrees this morning! Painting with a pallet knife was pretty disastrous and not for me. Beautiful day again but cold.

    A little cloudy today and Peggy’s Cove was packed. 5 Cruise ships in Halifax! Finished one painting. Going to be bold and paint with only a knife tomorrow – could be interesting!

    Beautiful day today but got windy so had to leave early. Need to design a screen to help when windy as the canvas board acts like a sail!

    Beautiful day, clear sky’s and no wind. Perfect for Plein Art. Started a new canvas and my light weight paint container worked well.
