The New studio is ready to work in.

It may not be much, but having a place to paint is on my high priority list. Just the basics; a place to paint, draw and stash the art supplies. :)

I took a few interesting pictures of Smooth Rock Falls, the catholic church and the mill from the river.



The train bridge is fun to drive under, by boat, on the Mattagami River.

Time to start a painting.

Pictures from my house.

A last blast of winter hit town but it started to melt away today.



This morning I listened to the church bells call Catholic's to mass. I took a walk in my backyard, listened to the train whistle and photographed the tower and mill that shut down. I don't have to go far for inspiration here. Smooth Rock Falls reminds me of the area I grew up in. It's like coming home.




It's too cold to sit on my deck today but as soon as the air warms up, I'll be out here all summer. :)

I can't wait to get the oil paints out and start working!

Hello from Smooth Rock Falls!

Well...I made it to Smooth Rock Falls. Not a smooth move at all but I'm here.

I seem to have moved to crow heaven. Crows fly the skies, walk the grass and generally make all kinds of noise. I'll miss Blackie but have many wild crows to watch now.

I didn't expect it to be so windy here. I don't know if it's just because it's spring or because of the flat terrain. I should have anticipated it.

I haven't taken any pictures yet, my camera isn't even charged. I hope this weekend my whole schedule gets back to normal. I plan to unpack all my art supplies. :)

I feel like I am on a very tiring vacation where every minute of the day is busy, busy, busy. My brain doesn't even register that I'm moved yet. The two cats have adapted faster than me.

Now to find the camera charger so I can take pictures to post. :)
