Sailing

All summer I got to spend time at the dog park that backs onto Lake Ontario, where I walk dogs. I couldn't resist visually drinking in the lake and taking some photos. This is from one I took on my iphone! Love that thing!

There are several yacht and sailing clubs in the area, and they sail past the dog park all the time.

The colors of the lake change with the weather, and the blues seemed infinite.

Three Sailboats

An early morning scene at a sailing club in on Lake Ontario. This is part of a series in which I was exploring brushstrokes and colours to depict reflections, and I continue to be fascinated with skies.

Stillness

Morning is my favorite time of day. I just loved playing with these brush strokes, and the reflections in the water.
