Island Lake with a Paddle

Island Lake with a Paddle / Acrylic on Canvas / 18"x24"

This afternoon, my good friend Deb and I took some time out of our very busy lives and enjoyed a painting class being held at Island Lake in Orangeville.  The painting above is the result of a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours of pond-side en plein air painting. Thanks to the Credit Valley Conservation and Art Therapist/Instructor Rubi Garyfalakis for a wonderful experience!

Delicious!

So, inspired by the IWC! gathering, I decided to launch myself full throttle into blogging!  This is my offering for this week, a simple study of an apple, lit from the window behind me.  It was a fun way to pass an hour, but served as a firm reminder that I've forgotten as much as I've remembered.  Ah, well... guess I'll just have to practice a lot! ;)
