as for this island:
a painting of the sunset from mclean's mountain

north channel drive

more oil on glass

little current, population 1 501

i've moved into a painting.
now residing on a dusty street in a northern town,
overlooking a century of buildings
to the north channel and a 10 000 year old view,
pinching myself to death.

or something like that.

first two paintings:
view from mclean's mountain
ruins at little current
(both oil on glass)

last post from the laundromat

goodbye buanderie frontenac
