As of this writing, I am awaiting the approach of Hurricane Fiona.
Even after driving for about five hours yesterday, away from our Cape Breton paint-out base at Margaree Harbour to Halifax, we still seem to be headed for a difficult time. This is the second time a hurricane has affected our plein air plans; the previous storm was named Dorion.
We still got in two days of painting at the coastal community of Margaree Harbour and Inverness and on the gravel bars of the salmon fishing Margaree River. These paintings will form the early part of our Footsteps East project (see our current map at tinyurl.com/FootstepsEast).
For those in Fiona’s path, stay safe.
