Wish granted

Wish granted

Our wish of a white Christmas was granted… I hope you are enjoying the holidays as much as we are! The link to the Christmas Fly was broken in my last post. Here it is again…
Broken-down city

Broken-down city

Found this while exploring the woods…  It looks like an ancient city tower. Have you seen Geninne’s birds?
Ravens

Ravens

Ink and acrylic on paper Annie Musselman’s beautiful photos made me want to draw ravens. I also promised a friend I would paint her a crow for last spring… You will tell me that I am kind of late in keeping that promise (I sure am!). The thing is I just...
Sunday walk

Sunday walk

I am not crazy about sweets, but this will be on the table for the Holidays… Beautiful prints from Stacey Rozich
What a difference a day makes

What a difference a day makes

Snow finally follows many days of rain and fog. What a difference a day makes. It’s Roupie’s first winter and he does not seem sure how he feels about it. The hint of a mohawk on his back is a pretty good indicator of his mood. Ink and acrylic on paper An...
Our “backyard” on a misty day

Our “backyard” on a misty day

We took a short walk in the woods with our neighbour on Tuesday afternoon. It had been raining for two days and there was a beautiful mist on the lake and in the forest. It felt like we were in a Japanese ghost movie! And with all this rain, the little lake is full...
I miss la Provence

I miss la Provence

It has been grey for a few days and since work has piled up, I did not take the time for a real walk or for a little jogging. No time out means I have been dreaming of the sun, of warmth and I suddenly remember la Provence: its odours (wild thyme, lavender, ripe...
*Mostly Grey*

*Mostly Grey*

When comes March, I will probably say “I am so fed up with it!” but for now, I’m in love with snow. Happy, Happy, Happy! It is our first winter here and it promises to be good. No brown slush, only white and grey fluffy snow. No grumpy city people,...
Mycelium

Mycelium

We found this mycelium while removing concrete slabs some time ago. I had completely forgotten about it until my boyfriend saw Wednesday’s post on my blog and noticed the resemblance. He thought it was made on purpose but no, the drawing came before this...
Endless Autumn

Endless Autumn

The temperature is still incredibly warm; this autumn almost seems perpetual… This is the second of two abstract drawings that I begun a few months ago and that I almost completed the other weekend. It is going back in the drawer for an undetermined period of...
Au diable vert

Au diable vert

It is still unusually warm for this time of year, so we decided to take a couple of hours to explore the paths near the Au Diable Vert Inn. They call this area the “Little Switzerland of the Eastern Townships”. The paths were beautiful and very quiet. We were lucky to...
Mushrooms

Mushrooms

This photo was taken in the Réserve faunique La Vérendrye. It looks like little pearls of pine gum or is it a mushroom that can perspire coffee? That would be like heaven for my boyfriend, a combo of two of his favourite things in the world. Delicate mushroooms found...
