Quidi Vidi
Posted: August 1, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 22 CommentsThis has been a kind of amazing summer for travel but my trusty phone, which I use to post remotely, is on its last legs. This week I’ll be travelling around Newfoundland and hoping that the phone will last the trip. That means I may not be able to write much but I sure will be drawing. The first stop: the tiny outport of Quidi Vidi – as picturesque a village as you could ever imagine.
Hope your phone holds out so we can enjoy your beautiful sketches from Newfoundland. Have a fun, safe trip Shari! 😊
Thanks Julie!
Love how you captured the reflections in the water! Enjoy your trip – I think you will have more than enough beautiful scenery to draw 🙂
Thanks Fiona!
Amazing area. You won’t be short of subjects to paint. Enjoy…
Thanks!
I think I would love Newfoundand..
Hope the phone keeps working!
This is just lovely.
I think you would love it too!
Newfoundland, such a wonderful place. Thanks for allowing us to travel alongside your sketches and have a safe journey.
Thanks Nathalie!
Wonderful! I recognized the name in the subject line, then immediately remembered the spot when I saw your effect sketch. I have been to this little bay and you have captured it beautifully.
It is a beautiful place, isn’t it? Thanks Alison!
Beautiful!
Thanks Sue!
Hope you are planning a future workshop there.. I’m in ….
I’m still hoping for Fogo next year!
Hello, you’re paintings are so wonderful. Thank you, Linda
Thanks so much Linda!
Beautiful painting, and that is one well placed bird. i would’ve flubbed that one unless i practiced it on a spare sheet. even then, no guarantee.
I had another one in there in front of the mountain but I painted over it by mistake! So I flubbed it too.
We just got back from a trip to Western Newfoundland and I painted every day that I was there. I am so glad to see your paintings as the colours are much more muted in Newfoundland than much of the paintings I have seen you do and I was interested to see how you would capture the scenes I was seeing and now I get to do just that. Have a wonderful time – wish I was there again right now!
We have had great weather here and every day is hot! Not what I expected here. The colours are certainly more muted here than out west where there was often a dark backdrop of trees. I am loving this province and it’s great to hear that you painted here as well.
