Welcome to Amherst Island
Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.
The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.

a mild January for us so far ... not enough snow for winter sports, but pretty enough for nature walks ❄️ #winterwalks #winterscene #winterscape #winterscenery #snowscape #snowscene #landscapes #landscapelovers #landscape_capture #farmscape #winterlandscape #cloud #cloudscape #cloudphotography #insta_landscape #snowyday #snowylandscape #snowytrees #snowy #snowywalk #ontariocanada #kingstonontario #amherstisland ...
Is anyone else feeling the need for a little sunshine in their life?
.
I know I’m not alone in feeling the impact of shorter days combined with limited human interaction.
.
I miss the connection and sense of community I was feeling when you were all able to come to the gallery.
.
In the interest of building that up again—and spreading some much-needed sunshine—I’ve decided to do my very first GIVEAWAY!
.
“Sunset Gate” is an early favourite of mine and filled with so much light.
.
This bright, joyful painting features the steep sunset behind the gate at the end of my road on a hazy summer's evening.
.
I think it’s just the tonic we need for these times.
.
How to enter:
🔆like and save this post
🔆tag a friend in the comments who you think could use some sunshine.
.
It’s THAT simple.
.
Each additional tag is a unique entry—help me keep it simple by tagging one friend per comment.
.
Thank you all for helping me beat the winter blahs!
.
I’ll draw a name on Monday, January 25 at 10 a.m. Oh, and shipping (within Canada) is on me!
.
Good luck!!

“I think He Knows”
12x12
#oil on canvas
.
The first completed painting from the upcoming “Lover” collection, this little piece is filled with that airy delight of a new crush.
.
You know the feeling. The buoyancy. The sneaky smile you get on your face when you think about them. The hope. The anticipation.
.
This painting makes my heartbeat skip and makes me feel lighter than air.
.
It’s based on a photo of a late-November sunset taken from the ferry to Amherst Island.
.
The pinks, purples, and blues in the sky the last few months have screamed “Lover” to me and I am so excited to be creating this little collection.
.
It’s going to be available on February 11–just in time for Valentine’s Day!
