The evening the reference photo for this painting was taken, it was wonderfully calm and serene. A bike-ride with my kids led us to this pond at Waskesiu Lake where beavers had been busy at work. I soaked in the mood, enjoyed the still reflection and sounds of nature, then proceeded to make a painting based on it all... and by viewing a photo on my camera's little screen.
Right now I am running on very limited access to technology... my computer has ceased up on me- big time. I am ever-so-slightly panicked about ALL of my files including photos of my kids from baby-stage until now. It is stressful, but my go-to computer guy (my brother-in-law) assures me that the hard-drive is intact and we will get to those files somehow. The kicker is we thought it was all being backed up, but it was not. Luckily I had some drafts already created for this blog, so I will be able to make a handful of posts in the next few days whenever I can borrow a computer. It's been a long time coming but this situation has nudged me over the edge and I will be getting my own laptop for my business and no longer sharing a computer with the men in my life! It's time for us to part ways :)

Oh Nicki that is so scary. Comptuers- it is a love/hate thing. Beautiful art! And as usual, terrific title too! :)
Hi Nicki,
Beautiful painting, and I am so sorry about the computer problem. We rely so heavily on them. Great idea getting your own. Much better.
XOXO Barbara
Thanks Monika... yes, computers are a friend and a foe! It was great chatting with you yesterday.
Barbara, yes, I don't use a lot of gadgets and functions when it comes to computers, but the things I do use I rely on heavily... and the computer keeps me in touch with you, so I need a working one! :)
I'm happy you like this painting.
Hugs,
Nicki
