#18 Presquile Lighthouse-

This image is a little bigger and a little more involved.The reference was taken from the water to create a more dynamic image.Presquile is a beautiful park here in Southern Ontario and i have grown to love it's various moods. A number of North American forests converge here in the park. It is an incredible spot to see migratory birds and various types of wildlife.This Park is A Jewel in Ontario!

Sketches from Toronto

This is a daily journey in the tradition of the Group of Seven where sketches were made to capture the nature and daily moods of their subjects. Join me on my road as a sketch hunter who “has delightful days of drifting about among people, in and out of the city, going anywhere, everywhere, stopping as long as he likes - no need to reach any point, moving in any direction following the call of interests. He moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook. Like any hunter he hits or misses. He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It's found anywhere, everywhere. those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand - to enjoy.”
