Ochre Pit Cove

 Thinking of past hikes in Newfoundland as we swelter here in the US.  This was from Ochre Pit Cove on Conception Bay North.  It was a crystal clear, sunny day that left the cliffs and rock formation  a brilliant white in the light.

Storm Over the Marsh

In the arts group I belong to we have done an excercise where you draw art cards from a deck and they have instructions on things you need to incorporate in a piece.  One of the cards someone drew was to make a painting using only 100 brushstrokes.  That seemed like a good excersise to me so I gave it a try and failed miserably (I will continue trying though).  This painting is what came of that effort and is definitely more than 100 brushstrokes.  It is from a very blurry photo I took one day as a storm was coming over the marsh and we were driving past.
