I only recently discovered that my Mama had a Canadian flag in her eclectic collection of this and that. I don't know where or when she acquired it but, it's mine now and I was delighted to be able to fly it off the railing at the cottage in Parrsboro. 

We do, after all, have MacDonald roots from Antigonish on my mama's, mama's side.

While racking my brain for something to paint besides water, boats and trees I suddenly hit on a novel idea. The flag!

I really enjoyed working the back and forth in the creases and I adore the RED in the Maple Leaf!

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.....
