I got "bridged" on the way home from work the other day. This always seems to be the busiest time of year on the canal, the lakers all hurrying to reach their destinations before the ice closes the St. Lawrence Seaway for the season.

Lakeshore Bridge

7"X5" Acrylic on board A familiar sight to anyone who tries to cross the canal on the Lakeshore Road at about 5:30 on a late winter evening. One of those situations where the visor really doesn't help. You have to drive one-handed while using the other one to try to block the sun without actually blocking your view of the road completely.

6″X4″ Watercolour & WC pencil on paper

Well I am back, after a week of driving all over Western Pennsylvania. The boys were playing in the Freeport International Baseball Invitational and the games were scattered all over, many were an hour’s drive apart (“just down the road”). Still the weather mostly stayed pretty fair and I got to spend some time with my very good friend. I didn’t do as much painting as I would have liked but I did do some watercolour sketches and a few tone-studies in marker. I may post some of these studies, or I may wait until I have done something more with them, I took lots of photos too.

Here is a watercolour sketch of the little plank bridge that crosses the creek between the house and the orchard where we stayed.
