Promise of Spring
View from Mt. Mye Sheep Centre

I did a Plein Air Demo during last year's Sheep and Crane Festival, I was not able to complete the painting because it was so windy outside that my canvas blew down the embankment and I had to run down and retrieve it!  I pulled it out of a stack of canvases and finished it today.

My dear friend Marilyn Boyle's Mother passed away in Newfoundland a few weeks ago. She was 95 years old. I painted this little scene in her memory. I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, It brings back my youth and memories of the ocean.
