BLOG about PAINTING

(posted on 4 Sep 2010)

We've just moved to Shelburne on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It's the start of a new adventure.

Here we are leaving Tsawwassen on the mainland of BC:

Starting out

That's my husband on my left and our good friend Paul on my right. You can see our kayaks on the roof and you can imagine the poor little Golf packed to the level of the windows. We drove clear across the continent - 7500 kilometers. It was a long, hot (in the 30 - 35ºC range), but beautiful trip across this wonderful country. We arrived in Shelburne for the heat wave of the century and the incipient arrival of Hurricane Earl. The storm was supposed to make landfall here this morning (Sept. 4, 2010), but luckily, we dodged the bullet as the eye of the storm came ashore just north of here, and all we got were some heavy winds and rain.

So here we are, and I can hardly wait to get out my paints and start work.
