This is a painting based on a picture I took at my Uncle Cris' cabin at Betula Lake, Manitoba. It's a gorgeous location. Uncle Cris and my cousin Michael were teaching my nephew how to fish. My parents were also there enjoying the beautiful sunset.
Here are a few of my pieces. As a child, I loved painting and sketching. However, many years passed and I almost forgot how much I loved creating things. It was my dear husband who encouraged me to start drawing and painting again. He even brought me to Julie-Ann's Art Store to frame a few of my old pieces from high school. Julie-Ann's had art classes. What luck! I signed up. Since that day, a year and a half ago, my muse has returned--Anna Tosso, April 2013

Betula Lake Fishing Lessons
Yesterday was a great day. I finally finished a piece that I love. I went to get it framed today and I'm so happy that it turned out. This is my third chalk pastel and my first landscape in the medium. I used sabretooth paper--a very heavy paper. John Le Flock, my teacher, guided me through the process over the course of a few weeks. I can't wait to see it framed!
