With all the snow that has fallen here, I could not help but share an image of Winter in Muskoka. Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season.
See you in January!
(P.S. – a little news – Michelle’s “Yellow Door” was selected in the top 15% category in the Fine Art Views Painting Competition for November 2009. Here’s the link.)

/ December 22, 2009Hi Michelle, that is a terrific image, Henry told me it looked cold and it does! I can see why people may mistake it for a painting, the ice in the foreground looks almost unreal. Great depth

/ December 25, 2009Merry Christmas! Hope you are having a great time and hope the rain coming down on my head doesn’t make it’s way north. Fantastic photo & pancake ice. I love that stuff.

/ December 30, 2009Hi Dear Michelle,
This is jaw-dropping gorgeous. Absolutely compelling. I could not take my eyes away from the photo. There is something so defined and bold about it even though it is still serene. Wow! I am just blown away.
Also, congrats on the “Yellow Door”. So happy to hear that good news because your work is hauntingly beautiful, just magical in the way it conveys the emotion of these old houses and their contents.
I want to thank you for all you have given me and all the joy, kindness, creativity and encouragement you bring into my life. You are a great talent and a remarkable human being.
Hugs to you, Michelle.
Robin
