Apple Orchard Fine Art Photographic Prints

I am happy with how these photographs turned out.

I tried to give them a nostalgic feel

As though you are lucky enough to visit a  faraway, vast rolling farm

Eating apple pie with fresh churned vanilla ice cream

Sipping strong coffee or black tea, white

Standing at the old wooden screen door

Looking out onto the glorious apple orchard acres

Hope you love them too.

You can purchase them now in my shop.

Apple Pie Trail

Ontario Canada Apple Stops and Trail Venues

The Pottery Restaurant
***The BEST Apple Galette in Canada***

Specifically designed for the Apple Pie Trail by Sous Chef Rod Meadus. This wonderful creation starts with hand rolled puff pastry filled with frangipani almond paste, a dusting of cinnamon sugar and is filled with local Northern Spy Apples (sourced from Grandma Lambe’s in Meaford) before the whole wonderful confection is drizzled with royal icing. 

Newly renovated, the Pottery Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, in a fresh rustic contemporary setting. Creative menus focus on using local, fresh ingredients inspired by the Georgian Bay Region. The Pottery would be pleased to host your special occasion or group function. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner year round. Children’s menu available.

Durga River

A river runs through it.  My photo illustration of Durga features the waters of Huntsville, Ontario. (which sadly is flooding right now)  Durga calms me.  I carry a tiny laminated copy of her image in my pocket and another one in my handbag.  It is crumpled and creased with the word 'Fearless' written on the back.  Durga accompanies me in life.  It's part of my 'as I go' - 'on the go' meditation.  Perhaps I'm in a car or walking or painting.  I think of Durga and whisper the bliss mantra 'Om anandamayi chaitaynamayi satyamayi parame'. I might repeat it once or a few times. It depends.  I learned this chant from Kelly Cutrone via The Mother via Sri Aurobindo via India.  It means 'Oh thou full of bliss, full of consciousness, full of truth, Supreme.'  (enjoy the sound of this mantra - see the video below)

I finished a piece of art today. 'Durga River'.  It is sweet petite, small and medium sized. Unframed, framed or sent to you on canvas.  I hope you find the 'bliss' with her.  She is in my shop now.

Thoughts of Egypt

Celebration 2.0

we would have held hands on the streets
and embraced for the journo
swooping me off my feet
wiping the blood and tears from my face
but that was another eleven, eleven
now you find me in the crowd
searching for my name
the likes of which you had not seen
blue eyes blurring, watering
and you chase me, hunt me
on the wall, behind the wall
a toppling message collapses bricks
our palace now empty
we are alone with our new desires
liberating freedom, passionate words
now I find you in the crowd
knowing your name intimately
repeating the comments I had not heard
brown eyes weary, hopeful
and I chase you, hunt you
we could have held hands on the streets
and embraced for the journo
lifting each other off our feet
wiping the blood and sweat from our face
but this was another eleven, eleven
instead, we chose to make love
and it was revolutionary

NEW Paintings: Love Letter To Wasaga Beach

UPDATE:  SOLD

Maybe it's the subzero temperatures and the streams of snow past my window or perhaps it is a longing to walk our beautiful freshwater beach, but I am in the groove. The paint is moving in wonderful ways off my brush and the newly completed pieces are now in my shop!  You can find them here. How do you beat the winter weather?
