New Space – close to home
After several years of hosting visitors to our Verandah Show in the spring, and Crawlers in October for the SC Art Crawl we had a long think and considered our options.

Day 9 Georgian Bay & Beausoleil Island
Honeymoon Harbour on Beausoleil Island for a full day of painting. Water taxi tour through some of the 30,000 islands of Georgian Bay with Larry Simon of Honey Harbour
Severn Lodge – nicely done…
It as always a bit of a crap shoot choosing accommodation off the internet. And not knowing the area it was a little risky deciding. I picked it mostly for the location – between the Muskoka lake district – woodland fall colors…and the lakeshore – dramatic rock shorelines and those iconic pine trees. After receiving […]
