Painting flower blossoms of a young magnolia tree in our garden was a delightful task. The dappled light passing through the surrounding woods created a dream like environment that added to the joy of the afternoon.

They seem oblivious to the branches that hold them to the ground revelling in the day.<br />

During our early and fast spring capturing the disarray of forest floor has been a yearly challenge. The disarray of broken branches and dried leaves the new growth of ferns unfurling towards the sun provides me with a still life arrangement that is strangely still but moving at the same time.</div>

A beautiful afternoon spent working in the garden. Blooms are everywhere in the heat of summer and so it is a pleasure to draw and paint in this space. Maybe it is the colour or maybe the endless curves<br />
that draw me in but in the heat of summer there is no better place to be.<br />
<br />

Each spring as the weather warms painting moves outside. Our garden provides many opportunities to draw from life and surprisingly changes so quickly it is often hard to keep up.</div>

Blue flags gave way to another favourite which are the small yellow lilies that seemingly shout "summer is here". I moved in the garden not wanting to miss all the action. Young birds test their skills moving up and down and across providing a unseen background to my work.</div>

Given longer days and a bit of heat in the air acrylic paint is fine to work outside again. Bits of snow and ice are still around but the summer birds are arriving in our area and brooks are running free. The bag loaded with paint and a canvas by the door made for a quick exit. So down by the brook with sun and not much of a breeze I found myself deep in the work and realized that there was an added bonus in that there were no bugs. That will be a short lived bonus but I will enjoy it in the mean time.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Spring is such an exciting time of year watching the plants in the garden. </span>The weather in Nova Scotia takes a dramatic change for the better. Gone are the cool and overcast days as the sky opens and sunlight pours in. Temperatures rise and the days are the longest we can expect. The seemingly slow rising and unfurling of ferns has turned almost overnight into a bloom bursting frenzy. There is a riot of energy in the garden as spring turns into summer.</div>

Returning home last evening the lake provided a beautiful reminder of our location by Springfield Lake. The colours of the sunset reflected perfectly of the still waters surface. The reflection echos in my mind and a journey through time begins.Brian Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18067138137480109850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621109805982963180.post-15712633163385707492018-11-12T05:04:00.000-08:002018-11-12T05:05:09.586-08:00Planning for Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our weather has turned towards winter now. The seasonal shift and lots of cold rainy days allow the opportunity of planning time for future art projects. Of course the future work will include preparing boards and canvas to work on. The locations for site work could change over the winter months but with time allowed for travel to areas near and far I hope there will be time for hikes with paint and boards.<br />

Such a wonderful view looking out over the Minas Basin. On this day in November the sky began to open allowing light to stream down over the bay. The stormy sky and the water current drawing out towards the Bay of Fundy was revealed. There was so much to take in, shape and colours defining the moment you would think was special. Not too long after making the work I was taken aback when I saw a copy of a watercolour work made by a military officer in the 1700's. His work made note of a very similar sky and was made in a location not far from where I stood. Suddenly the work took on a whole new life and meaning.Brian Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18067138137480109850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621109805982963180.post-80771386253468997052018-09-28T05:16:00.002-07:002018-11-08T05:14:21.084-08:00Sketching in Colour<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having canvas ready to go made all the difference when time and weather made a sketching trip possible. Weather reports called for increasing wind and cloud along the coast so I knew I would be working fast but that just added to the adventure. With weather on my side I set up on a bluff overlooking the shore looking out to Shad Bay Head. Being an optimist will suggest a return trip before the temperatures drop and make working outside with water based paint impossible.Brian Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18067138137480109850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621109805982963180.post-81914923817464992692018-08-28T05:50:00.001-07:002018-11-08T05:15:19.430-08:00Lucky Dog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Living on the coast has benefits. Where water meets land and air an immersive environmental phenomena exists. Sometimes we are there to enjoy it all and take note of the experience.</div>
