New Harbour NS. At the end of a long road, it reminds me of a Newfoundland outport ❤️

"Undaunted", a cape islander hauled up in Borden PEI. This boat will need a lot of work before it sees the water again and lives up to it's name ❤️

1351 Barrington Street in Halifax NS. A beautiful brick building, I hope I came close to capturing the colours.

The final official outing of the HRM plein air season was at La Cuisine de Brigitte in West Chezzetcook. I was three hours late but several of the artists were still there! 👍

At Alderney Landing this morning with #halifaxusk. Boats were a popular subject, perfect for #boatober! Some nice boats in the marina, the one with the brown dodger and orange tarp caught my eye.

A nice little scene in Midgell PEl that I've wanted to paint for a while now. 15C and no showers so perfect 👍

#Boatober day 14. This reminds me of a boat I have seen somewhere on Cape Breton Island, maybe Inverness or Margaree Harbour ❤️ or maybe it was Dingwall 🤔

This morning, across the street from Government House, at the Old Burying Ground. I love drawing this monument, lots of straight lines and right angles! ❤️

Thinking that Prospect would be way to windy and cold, at the last minute a few of us went to Hemlock Ravine, which was way to windy and cold. The Heart Shaped Pond is almost completely dry, causing much 🦆😡

Boatober day 6, Rockport Massachusetts. The reference pic makes for a challenging composition, with the boat and the fishing shack fighting to be the focal point. Not sure I got it right! 🤔 Fun though ❤️
