Sketches from a cottage we rented on Lake Anima-Nippissing. Cool place.

This was done the day before we left. Again, at the site.
I got really exited about this one, then after stepping back to admire my brilliance, I realized I had painted a backdrop for "the Jungle Book-part 2". That's the F---ing storyboard artist coming out when I'm not looking.
...and number 4. I've got this thing for Birch trees.
This was created in the same day. All these are in oils on gessoed masonite.
After that fiasco, Annemarie convinced me to look for inspiration at the camp site. More food, potential roof over my head and company when needed was the argument given. And this was the result. Just a simple study of a birch.
