So, we moved October 1 and I then came down with bronchitis. As a result I’ve not been too productive in the art over the past month. However, I am totally getting back to it. My studio is set up, and the paints are out.  What a delight, to have a proper studio in which to work that I don’t have to share. It’s pretty sweet.

(As an aside, we also have a big back yard and extra bedroom and basement with laundry…life is good! New house projects have included but are not limited to painting all rooms on the two floors, recovering a couple of old couches and wallpapering a touch. Please see one of my completed slipcovers below. I’m pretty proud of myself.)

I’m really truly working on finishing up a cottage portrait, which is a Christmas gift…and at the beginning of the month finished up this little guy, a portrait of Town Hall in Perth, Ontario:

Here’s the cottage so far…getting there!

Hope this finds everyone well! Thanks for looking.
