Yesterday it was 26 celsius with a ferocious wind. Our neighbour knocked on our door to tell us that our rain barrel had blown across the street into their yard. Again!
Today it was 20 degrees cooler and I put on my usual layers and woolens to go into the country. We were at a wildlife preserve in Flamboro off of Middletown Rd. A public place with a parking lot and paths that lead to a swamp.

Beauty,
ReplyDeleteLove it, and the paint feels so alive to me.
Love,

It IS a wild life with such crazy temperature variations.
ReplyDeleteYou've painted another luscious, evocative landscape. Nice sense of distance too!
Hope you have plenty of time to paint many more...
When I was young Melinda, I wanted life to be wild - now I'm not so sure. But we're all a wild bunch maybe, the lump sum of humanity - not as civilized as we might be at times - purposefully vague of course.
DeleteThank you so much for your magnanimous comments and I was inspired by seeing you painting this week end and the results and concentration was magnificent!
xo, Marcia
I love this one very much, such a beautiful, pure and wild landscape!
ReplyDeleteI can say the same about your recent landscapes, Kathrin - Really!!!!
