Up North



My family visited our close friends in their cottage near Parry Sound.
It was less than three hours drive north of Toronto, and the place was still covered by snow.
The cottage faces a lake, which was still completely frozen. It has been quite a while since the last time we left the city and visited the country side. We skated, hiked through the forests, heard owls hooting in distance and followed deer trails.

It was perfect because I want to paint a few more snow scenes and I took a lot of photographs that I will share soon. I want to play with the images of light, the sun and the shade. I wanted to start painting the moment we returned.
