I painted at Gage park yesterday, the smoke from the wildfires in Québec made the sky and lighting very unique and glowing, I tried to capture that. Gouache on watercolour paper in my landscape sketchbook.

I had a wonderful time at the Elora Plein Air Festival this weekend. I was surprised and honoured to receive an award for best architectural painting for this little alleyway! it charmed me when I walked by but I did wonder partway through if I was nuts to choose it! Ha! I also had a different painting sell to a wonderful couple. The whole weekend was great food, catching up with new and old artist pals, and just spending time in beautiful locations doing my favourite activity - it can’t get better than that!
