Taken near Dorset late last summer ©2008 Michelle Basic Hendry
I thought I would have a mid-winter interlude of summer. I photographed this after a day trip to Algonquin Park on a beautiful warm evening. Its warm colours and peaceful silhouette gave me a little lift and I wanted to share it.
I will be posting a WIP next time. I have the drawings done and I am just getting the first layer of paint on it. The Big Launch is finally planned for one week today!

February 1, 2009 at 1:32 amThanks! 🙂 The snow here is making the town like a maze… I think I need to spend an afternoon in the bush. Winter and civilization can be oppressive!

February 2, 2009 at 5:55 amHello Michelle,
I love the way you compose your images (paintings or photographs) with skies.
I really like this one with its delicate tones and colors and her perfect composition with the sea, land and sky.

I do wish it was end of winter instead of mid-winder!!
