But on the positive note I am leaving for a vacation down to San Francisco and Northern California this weekend. I'll be attending Bill Cone's pastel workshop "Pastels and Natural Light" in Sierra Nevada. Very excited about this, Bill is one of my favourite artist and to be able to learn from him will be a special treat :) As some of you might know he is a Production Designer at Pixar Animation Studios, and also has 15 years of experience painting outdoors.
On a more local note, I discovered a very cool place to paint, some 30 min walk from my house. It is secluded conservation area with a winding, shallow creek, clear water and rocky banks. I really liked this formation of rocks, peeking at times from out of the green/blue water, very still and quiet.

Great about you attending Bill's workshop. Will you publish lots of what you did during the workshop?
BTW, I am also based in Toronto -- would you feel like sharing where this wonderful conservation area is?
Thanks
Thanks Frank, it is always nice to see you here :)
Hey zwzwzw- I just got back from the trip so it will take me a couple of days to get sorted out. This was painted in Charles Sauriol trail. Here is a link.
