Killarney Spring Landscape Workshop 2012 Lighthouse Trail - Rob Stimpson Image Killarney is one of those places that is off the beaten path – and unless you are going to the Park or staying at the lodge, there is probably a good chance you will never venture down Highway 637. This is a place that is visual art in waiting. There is a wealth of landscapes, the closest thing to a maritime village you will find in this part of Ontario and a lighthouse that is just waiting for the artist.

We will travel by boat down the coast for a day - head into the Park - visit the village - only thing in our way will be time to do it all.

Limberlost Art Show 2012 August 11th - 12th, 2012 My good friend and artist Jeff Miller has asked me to join him as his guest artist on the annual The Artists of the Limberlost tour. This is a collective of artists and craftspeople who host an annual mid August studio tour. Their studios are all found along the scenic Limberlost Road, north of Hwy. 60 in Muskoka, Ontario. While the work produced by the members covers a broad range of media and style, they are united in their love of the ruggedly beautiful Canadian Shield landscape which they call home. Limberlost Road is located close to Algonquin Park in the Huntsville/Lake of Bays area of Ontario, and winds through forest, rock and wetlands rich in wildlife and natural beauty. Tucked along the road are the studios and homes of the Artists of the Limberlost. Each artist welcomes visitors by appointment, but to really share their work with the public, the Artists of the Limberlost join together for their annual studio tour weekend, this year on August 11 & 12th.
