Process

As I've been working on this piece, I have layered more colour onto the distant mountains and my original plan has changed ever so slightly.  I hadn't intended to add swallows but they seemed perfect when I began to think of farmland.  Originally I planned sailboats since they are prevalent at Ghost Lake but, I think because I grew up in a land of canoes and fishing boats, I have never connected with images of sailboats and all things connected with the seaside.  Seashells and pastel colours and a lot of white feels a little foreign to me.  I find that whenever I try to incorporate images or colours that I don't connect with, my heart isn't in it and the process feels foreign and challenging...not in a good way.  I'm interested to see where this rabbit hole leads. And, yes, I am working in my robe...I can't help but pop into my studio whenever inspiration hits. :)
