The old canoe shack

In the ¨Parc des Mille-Îles ¨, there is an old shack where the parc

stores canoes and kayaks . They rent these canoes during the

summer time and the shack it is located next to the Rivière des

Mille-Îles , here in Ste-Rose, Quebec .

Parc du domaine Vert Outing

I decided to go paint at the ¨Parc du Domaine Vert ¨in Mirabel
,Qc today . It is about 12 kilometers from my home and today
was a chilling -10 c but a beautiful day . I tried for the first time
a new pair of snowshoes I just bought recently . I'ts not easy to
put them on especially with my packsack on my back .Nonethe-
less I was very happy with my painting even though it was a
difficult condition to paint . There are several trails to walk on
and you can also ski . I took several photos of my painting and I
will put them all on this blog .

At the Falls

There is a place in the lower Laurentiens called Rivière du Nord and
it is a beautiful spot where you can walk and ski during winter time .
The trails are several kilometers long and borders the river . There is
a bridge that connects the east and west borders . I have made a lot
of my paintings there . This place is bigger than the Parc des Mille Îles
and there is more areas to paint .When I set out to paint ¨At the falls¨,
I walked quite a while before finding the right spot to paint . I worked
my way through vegetation to get a better view . I started painting
although a bit uncomfortable . The next morning , I was invited to a
paint out and I showed , to a friend , the painting I did earlier at the
falls and she told me to watch out , that a friend of hers painted at
Rivière du nord and she got poison ivy . The next morning I woke up
with rash all over my body . Yes , I had also caught poison ivy but
for me , it was still worth while , ¨At the falls ¨is a great painting .
¨At the Falls ¨ 20x24" oil on canvas .
