Painting Blackfriars

On Saturday, September 20th, residents of Blackfriars will host the inaugural “Painting Blackfriars” community arts festival. Over 40 artists from the Gallery Painting Group will converge to capture the charm of this historic neighbourhood in plein air paintings. From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the artists will set up their easels and paints at vantage points throughout the community to paint houses, streets, gardens and the river.

Glencairn

On Wednesday, I played Glencairn Golf Club. Located near Milton, this course is said to be "the closest you can come without crossing the Atlantic". This course was designed by Thomas McBroom, opened in 2005 and has 27 holes. We played Leithfeild and Speyside nines. You never want to get in those pot bunkers! This was sketched whiles playing and coloured when I got home.

Rattlesnake

Yesterday, we played Rattlesnake Point Golf Club. A little drizzle during first nine holes, the sun finally came out for the drive home. Generous fairways, don't know how I missed so many! Large challenging greens, explains why I three putted so many times.

London Hunt Club

I had the pleasure of playing The London Hunt and Country Club today. Only enough time to do one quick sketch. Hole number 8, short par 3, over the gully. Perfect weather, not so prefect game! The greens are large and I found them to be extra challenging today, too many 3 putts. 

 

Blackhorse Golf

Visited cottage just south of Kincardine and played Blackhorse Golf Course on the weekend. One of the best places to enjoy the sunsets over Lake Huron. Saturday at course was very hot and very busy, lots of time to sketch while playing.

Greystone Golf

Yesterday at Greystone Golf Course. Lots of elevation change and panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment in the background, make a beautiful course. The escarpment creates optical illusions making the putting very challenging!

Golf Season

Last Sunday at Heron Point. Great day of golf and did seven quick sketches. Below are 2 of them.
