(Sorry I didn’t take photos at my lunch today.) I joined the International Women’s Club for a delicious lunch at Henry VIII. Thank you to all the group, and special thanks to  Annette who gave me a ride and who made me feel so welcome. I look forward to future outings with the Art Group and other IWC activities. What a wonderful gathering!

We’re still having very difficult weather for any painting, with strong winds and lots of rain showers. There are moments when it’s really beautiful, but five minutes later we’ll have a downpour.

These have not been the greatest painting days since it’s been extremely blustery and constantly changing. Wild weather! But there were times that the clouds were stunning.

For a really cool video of the demolition of the old Club Med, watch this!!!:

A quiet day to do some revision, some scouting at Spittal Pond Nature Santuary, and some food shopping.

Clifford is a terrific model. It felt great to do a portrait, especially of Clifford.

The light at sunrise is wonderful during my morning walk, but too fleeting to paint, alas.

I think goats are adorable. Cows are extremely difficult to draw. Another fun day at the farm.

What a marvelous day. Thank you Caroldey, and thank you Clifford. Watch for much more from this locale. I am so happy, so inspired, and can’t wait to paint here! (Yes there will be pigs.)

Many thanks to Emma for the lift to Hamilton, good guidance, and for including me in her sketching class!
