Drawbridge is an illustrated journal of my life as an artist and nature lover. I use coloured pencil, collage, or whatever it takes to say what I mean.
Drop in and say 'hi'! Art is all about communication, after all.

Walking At Night
This is a thing I was taught to do long ago by mother. Without fail, after supper, summer, spring, fall and winter, out she would go for a walk when we were at the cottage. Now that I make that statement, it sounds like I was raised in privilege...
A Man and His Dog
Another image of Cranberry Bog Trail, Killarney Provincial Park, with liberal interpretive changes. I’m not much into copying photographs, even my own, but they come in handy for reference. In this case, however, the photo had pretty...
Nuts, Bolts and Solidarity Forever
Yes, I’m still doing the life drawing. How not to be fascinated by the human body, the vessel with which we experience the universe. I’m booked to start up again next week, but here’s some pics from the last session I attended. On break...

Queen of the Night
I spent a weekend with very good friends. They live in the woods on the North Magnetawan River in a cabin without running water, telephone or road access. During winter visits, we ski across lakes, rivers and islands to arrive at their home. In su...
Grumpy
And now the truth; all is not sweetness and light. This is me being grumpy. I was doing up my lily picture when my husband joined me to watch a Saturday sunset. And I got grumpy. Really grumpy. He was trying his best to be unobtrusive, peering at ...
Before the storm
We camp on the beach at Lake Superior Provincial Park every summer for as long as we are able. Last September, we were lucky enough to score a prime campsite on the sand beach. Large storms rolling from the west often produce long glassy rollers th...
Scout Tract
The Scout Tract is just a tiny segment of York Regional Forests, but one of its highlights is the walk along a causeway between two ponds. If I was the type to settle down in one spot for awhile, it would be a great place for birdwatching, but ...
