washday
A few years ago, we took a vacation to les Îles de la Madeleines, also known as the Magdalen Islands, in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and part of the Province of Quebec. We loved the ferry rides to and from the Islands, the endless white sand beaches, the artisans, and the demonstrations of wind sailing. Most of all, I loved the colourful houses. I always planned to try to capture the beaches and those houses in a painting. I finally completed my tryptic called ‘washday #1’, ‘washday #2’ and ‘washday #3’.

This is stunning work, Jane! I only recently learned about the magic of triptychs during my photography lessons.

Hi. It’s interesting to paint in threes … Have to keep remembering the continuity between paintings. Hope you enjoy your classes! Jane

I don’t know if it’s intentional, but I find similarities to paintings I’ve seen by Edward Hopper.

Hi Barbara… Thanks! I don’t seem to be able to leave comments on your blog, but I read them … Enjoy your photos of the seaside town in Norway, and hope your struggles with medicine side effects are paying off. Enjoy your day! Jane
