Nova Scotia Sketches


We just returned from a wonderful week in Nova Scotia! Most of these sketches were done near the cottage we rented on the South Shore. I wish we could have stayed longer, but I'll always have these great memories...

  3. Patty, These are very nice compositions. I think you would do yourself a favor by enlarging a couple of your favorites to full fledged paintings. The first and the last are my favs!

  6. Carrie, sorry it took me so long to reply! I have actually started drawing out a larger version of the first sketch. I hope to get some paint on it this weekend!

    Thanks Barb!

  7. Patty - FANTASTIC memories. I think when you get a chance to put in down in paint, it enlivens the memories even more, don't you? I have just a few plein air sketches and, when I take a second to browse through them again, it takes me right back to the scene. Hope you had a great time. The second one from the bottom is my favorite, but all are really GREAT!
