Memories of a Road Trip

Just got back from a trip to Ontario.  We did a lot of driving and it seemed like we often waited for road construction.

Veg with Turban Squash

 

Actually did this on Sunday after acquiring a gorgeous Squash.  Haven't had time to post it until today.  Back on Pender and back to painting right now.

I decided to do "Agnes' Chair" in a larger size to match "The Upstairs Bedroom"

The Front Bedroom

View from the bedroom

I started this last fall and just finished it yesterday!  Last year my studio was in the spare bedroom.  The leaves have not even started to change over there yet.

Last Day Sunflowers

I thought I was sick of doing sunflowers, but they were on their last legs today, so had to do one last painting of them.

The Front Hall

Anglican Church Retired

On the weekend we drove down to Gowland Point - the most southerly point of the Pender Islands.  Just south of Poet's Cove Resort, we passed the Anglican church.  A quaint, rustic little place tucked in amongst the trees, now retired.

The last three sunflower paintings were painted from flowers I bought at the market on Saturday.  In the first one they were quite wilted from the heat of the car, but they perked up with some water for the last two poses.

Aug 26th

I walked up above the winery yesterday and was inspired to paint this one.  Unfortunately my inspiration  did not last long enough to name it.

Wed Aug 24

No time to paint today.  Coady's visited by boat and ended up buying a painting.  This is Kate carting it to the boat.

Agnes' Chair

I dropped off my painting "Sunset Arbutus"  to Vancouver Island School of Art yesterday.   The auction fundraiser is on Sept 9th.
Here is a link http://artincognito.wordpress.com/about/
Hope to see you there.

I have started the blog so that I can post paintings without having to access my computer.  I need my Victoria computer to do that - it's complicated.... So if you want to view older paintings from July back, go to www.nancyruhl.com.
