Road Trip

Here's a few photos of our road trip across the island of Newfoundland a couple of weeks ago. These were taken near Port aux Basques. Yes, that's snow up in the mountains! The first two photos were taken on our way to St. John's and the others, on our way back to Nova Scotia.

For those of you who have never been to the island, it takes about 11 hours to drive from St. John's to Port aux Basques. Have a look at this map showing Atlantic Canada and you will see how large Newfoundland is compared to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

It looks as if the road is going into the water.

Here I am at the City of St. John's Art Procurement Reception 2014 - 2015, City Hall. It was nice to see my work on the wall among so many distinguished works.

Inspiration From Nature



I don't know about you, but a lot of my inspiration comes from nature. My camera goes with me at all times, whether it's my phone camera (which  has a 41mega pixel camera), my pocket size Canon or my tablet. The pictures below were taken with the tablet.

The lilacs are just starting to bloom. Just see where the tiny maple tree decided to grow (potential art piece ???) - maybe!
These plants are in my sister-in-law's garden.

I will be presenting some nature photos over the next few days.
Have a look around your area. What might inspire you. Take photos, sketch a bit, add colour, transfer to fabric but most of all, HAVE FUN!!

Enjoy!
