I applied for and was accepted to the first annual Parrsboro Plein Air paint out. 
Not only is this my first ever Plein Air competion, it is taking place in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, a place I've been visiting for close to 20 years and where my husband's mother's family is from.  
It is one of the most spectacular places I've been and I know it well.
I painted this at Sargent's cottage at second beach. 
Notice the reflection of Blomidon in the windows.

4x10 Watercolor

I've been working on hot pressed paper which I love for its smoothness but I bought a little 4x10 block of Arches 140 Cold Pressed paper and I found that I liked the way 

the paint takes to the surface. 

It may even be better.

Don and I are heading home to New England tomorrow. It's been a great and much needed get away.
