know what would be awesome? if macOS didn’t log me out of Messages just for rebooting (and, adding insult to injury, notifying me of “a new Mac on my account”). #macOS #Ventura #notABetaOS

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, this is an even smaller #watercolour #sketch of the same property from a different angle, better showing the barns behind the house. After doing a number of sketches of this property, I learned that it’s the family home of a long-time client and fellow #MountAllison alumnus. #art #painting #landscape #architecture #sackville #NewBrunswick #tantramar

Small #watercolour #sketch of a farm in Sackville, New Brunswick. A snow-covered field with trees on the horizon at left and right, and a cluster of barns beside a white, wooden-framed house with a dark blue roof. The sky is hazy blue, softening the shadows. In a private collection in the US. #art #painting #watercolor #NewBrunswick #canada #landscape

Sketch/study of the woman’s face from my recent post of the Peel Métro in Montréal. Ruler for scale (1 cm = 0.4 inches). As often happens, this study captures her expression better that the larger version. #art #portrait #sketch #study #drawing #ink

Small watercolour painting of Chandler House (aka Rocklyn National Historic Site), a stately stone building, built 1831, in Dorchester, New Brunswick, once home to EB Chandler, a Father of Confederation. A sister building stands in Sackville, and served as the residence of the president of Mount Allison University for decades. Today it’s a café. #dorchester #tantramar #newBrunswick #canada #history #art #canadianArt #painting #watercolor #watercolour #architecture
