One crisp November day, I went to Waubaushene on Georgian Bay and took a walk down the pier. The rocks sat in the still water in the light of the late Autumn sun.
Now, the snow has finally arrived. I realize that I was looking forward to the quiet it brings with it.

I enjoyed this very much. There’s a somber beauty to it. I love the little rocks on the top that appear to have broken free and and are flying away.

I stumbled across this page, did you know that Waubaushene is a native word meaning “where the rocks & water meet” you captured it so well!

I like this painting Michelle…reminds of Emily Carr or Marsden Hartley…organic and impressionistic!
