Painting Freeland Lake

-

 Kayaking to and across Freeland Lake in Killarney Provincial Park was one of the highlights of a painting trip that I did with my sister a few years back. The portage from George Lake to Freeland was the perfect spot to park the kayaks and roast a couple of hotdogs. Freeland Lake was a small, calm magical lake, festooned with lily pads of all colours. 

Lunch time at George/Freeland Portage

Anyway, I see now that this piece, The Worried Man, represents, my husband, myself and one of our daughter's boyfriends. Yes, it was a rather challenging time for all of us, and so interesting that it comes out in the artwork. Did I see it at the time? Certainly not. Back then it was just paper and paint and a bit of imagination! The Worried Man (sold)

After I took a photo for this, I used the broom to take down spiderwebs, and then I chased the kids with it...lots of fun! Broom And Bench-sold Just kidding about chasing the kids.
