The source of the image: The sunken log is a 20 X 20" oil painting on canvas. I had painted it once before, but was unsatisfied with the results and redid it a year later. It is the sunken log in the cove in South Bay of Chandos Lake between the two parts of Standish Island. Here is the original:

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Read every single book. I'm guessing you can figure out which was my favourite based on the one I painted.

I saw this and did a double take because I have this exact shot in my camera roll!

Today's #BirdoftheDay is #lunchtime. I actually have a contribution that I had forgotten about. We have a tufted titmouse that likes to chow down at our feeder. I give you Teddy the Titmouse.

Nowhere have I ever found reflections more arresting than those in the North Kawarthas. Morning waters are mirror-still.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. The alternative is #longbeak any bird with a long beak. Ideally you want both. Sigh. I’ve got a painting I did of a heron with a long beak but it's perched on a submerged branch. #bornrulebender 😏

Jennifer Wenn's *Hear Through the Silence*. You can finish it in a day but you'll want to re-read it every day for about a year.

I can paint this heron. But can I sculpt it? Tips on carving tree stumps welcome.

I made a chair into a desk. And I finished a novel.

Finished my book yesterday. Time for one last read through to fix any glaring gaps and then it's rejection slip collection time!

Winter is coming. Colours are muted, clouds are gathering, and the water is turning gradually to steel and silver.

Love this guy. Want to learn to play some of his new songs from The Big Fantasize.
