Parrsboro Changing Tide

 Parrsboro Changing Tides

6x6 oil on panel

It's that time again. 

The Girls Just Wanna Paint monthly topic is "Saved".

I saved this painting from Parrsboro for this post!

This is my second painting of the changing tide from Parrsboro.

Parrsboro Cottage 4x6

Parrsboro Lighthouse 4x6 pen and ink

Ahhhhhh......Parrsboro. 
Indescribable, but you can imagine. We had relaxing and fun week at the cottage, took some day trips, ate great seafood, read books and just looked out at Cape Blomidon and the beautiful view.
Even after all these years, I have never tired of the stunning (really-even though that's an overused word now-it applies here) vistas everywhere.
This sketch of the lighthouse is one of the better ones I did this week. Also did a couple of watercolors and took a thousand more photos ;)  I HAD to ;)
Stay tuned.....

We spent the past week in Nova Scotia and my wireless card would not connect at either of the available sites, even after considerable time working in control panel connections. Nada. I received an error message that, yes, I the signal was there, but my computer couldn't connect. Whatever. It works perfectly fine here at home. Wirelessly. Anyway, despite poor weather including pouring rain, thunder, fog, mist and wind, it was glorious, and I painted several paintings. Here is the view from the cottage at low tide. Overcast clouds with some rays coming through. I had to work to see the color, as this scene is very monochromatic and the light glares off the wet sand.

Cape Blomidon

I am in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia for a week painting with two of my friends. We are staying in the same cottage that my hubby and I visit each summer. This is the first time I've been up here in the Fall and it's just wonderful. This was painted during the mid afternoon when the light was slightly overcast and the water appeared in total glare. I plan to paint it again and again this week.
