It's a boy!

A few months ago my wife's brother and his family came up from Arizona to our place for dinner. Yes,it's a long trip for dinner but what made it a unique experience was that it was the first time that my wife and her brother had seen each other since...well the first time ever.
Well the entire meeting turned out simply fantastic and it's great to suddenly have a brand new extended family.
A couple of days later we all went out to the Niagara Bench to visit a couple wineries.It was a wonderful,warm fall day and this was the view from from one of the wineries looking out over the lake.

Somethin' a lil' different...

Nope! not another pastel. Haven't tried oils in a long time and I don't think I ever tried a still life. Thank the Lord for Ctrl z

I've been really busy with work so I haven't had a chance to get out and do some drawing/photography for a winter scene, so here is one I've been fiddling with from a photo I found.
Out in the snow this weekend for sure!
