A Little ‘Peace’ of Summer

I thought I would have a mid-winter interlude of summer. I photographed this after a day trip to Algonquin Park on a beautiful warm evening. Its warm colours and peaceful silhouette gave me a little lift and I wanted to share it.
I will be posting a WIP next time. I have the drawings done and I am just getting the first layer of paint on it. The Big Launch is finally planned for one week today!

What a beautiful sky! I see we both have Summer on the mind (although I feel like I’m still in it, to be honest. *L*) Best of luck with the Big Launch! I’m pulling for you!

Love that warm sky, gorgeous photo, but I’m still enjoying all the snow (but not the crazy drivers).

Thanks!
The snow here is making the town like a maze… I think I need to spend an afternoon in the bush. Winter and civilization can be oppressive!

Beautiul Michelle,
I know you are tired of snow by now.
Love,
Linda

Linda – I think the best thing I can do is take a day off and go out into the bush!

Hello Michelle,
I love the way you compose your images (paintings or photographs) with skies.
I really like this one with its delicate tones and colors and her perfect composition with the sea, land and sky.

Wow – Thanks, Patrick! I think skies really are my favourite…

Kim – It has been a bit tough, but I think I am adjusting, finally! Maybe?

Beautiful…simple, but makes a huge impression…words which come to mind for me are soft, gentle and calming.
I do wish it was end of winter instead of mid-winder!!
Cheers

Thank you for posting a very beautiful and also very calming scene (the latter I need so much at the moment)
