I thought I'd show you what I did with all the time I had to fill in Saint John.
I went out for daily walks to explore the area, I read and actually watched t.v. (This is novel as we don't have one at home) and did a jigsaw. I decided I wanted to do something I used to do when I was much younger and had so much more time on my hands, painting! I asked for canvases and paints for Christmas in preparation.
I dug out an old sketch pad and played with ideas first before deciding on my final 4 picture designs.
Playing with ideas around Whitby beach huts
Beautiful piggies of course!
Radom flowers experimenting with charcoal and watercolour
Famous New Brunswick covered bridges
Different beach huts! Ok so I like beach huts!
Canvas 1: this one is called radiation, as you lie in the machine you look up at a ceiling which has glass panels lit from behind with a picture as though you are looking up through spring trees to a beautiful blue sky. This is my interpretation of it.
Canvas 2: poppies of course, I love poppies!
Canvas 3: my chosen beach hut became very stylized
Canvas 4: Whitby lighthouse
I had lots of fun doing these and maybe when our farmhouse is complete I may do more.
