We’ve been out of wireless reach for almost a week but now a couple of days in Havre Sainte Pierre…for water, charge batteries, groceries and socializing.
First paintings are from approaching Sept Iles when we crossed back to north side of the St Lawrence. A day there and then a long motor sail to the village of Mingan in beautiful weather. We had thought of stopping part way but glad we didn’t because went wind east (on the nose) and very “maritime”. Spent 3 days in rain/fog on mooring at Ile Quary but went ashore every day and walked the entire perimeter. Last 3 paintings are ones done between bouts of rain…carried whole kit wrapped in plastic.
Love this work. You can see the journey.
beautiful pictures that capture in movement and colour your journey. mingan sounds lovely.
beautiful paintings, jayne – they capture the movement and colour of the scene. i’m glad you had a good sail to mingnan.
❤ love them ❤ such beautiful colours! How are the sunsets out there? xo Di
what really knocks me out are the stars, with NO lights in some of the places we’ve been recently and no moon, the night sky has been amazing.
Ah yes ….I never thought of that! Did you see the big meteor shower last week? There is a very cool APP called GoSkyWatch ….you just hold your iPad up to the sky and it orients and tells you exactly the constellations you are looking at. We tried it in Mexico last winter. Xoxo
