At Alderney Landing during Christkindlmarket with #halifaxusk. We managed to do some sketching outside where it was frankly not quite warm enough ❄. November 30 might be the new record! ❤️

This morning the urban sketchers visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It was warm enough out on the wharf to do a quick continuous line sketch of CSS Acadia ❤️

Blockhouse Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Charlottetown Harbour. This is one of my favourite places to paint and sketch in PEI ❤️

At the Keshen Goodman Library this morning with #halifaxusk. The view out this window caught my eye with lots of different coloured trees and bushes ❤️

New Harbour NS. At the end of a long road, it reminds me of a Newfoundland outport ❤️

"Undaunted", a cape islander hauled up in Borden PEI. This boat will need a lot of work before it sees the water again and lives up to it's name ❤️

At Alderney Landing this morning with #halifaxusk. Boats were a popular subject, perfect for #boatober! Some nice boats in the marina, the one with the brown dodger and orange tarp caught my eye.

A nice little scene in Midgell PEl that I've wanted to paint for a while now. 15C and no showers so perfect 👍
