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”.

I’ve been working away on a few holiday things.
.
They are not quite ready for sharing BUT this little piece is.
.
It sort of made it up and sort of based it on our bay at home.
.
It doesn’t have a name yet but it will soon and it will be part of my “The Rising” series.
.
There are two more to be finished and then when the whole series is dry it will be available.
.
That said, if you have a favourite, I’m more than happy to put it on hold for you!
.
The series will be dry in time for the holidays, so if there’s someone who you think would love to have a piece of original art, maybe keep these in mind as gift ideas.
.
More on THAT to come.

He is my little bird enthusiast, he knows way more than me when it comes to animals in general. Even though he is not a big fan of hikes he still comes with me which is a blessing. This past weekend at Amherst Island was fun for him to be able to see multiple species of birds. For sure we will be back in winter to see more. #bird #ontario #ontariocanada #nature #kids #kidsofinstagram #son #loveoflife #amherstisland #canada #canonphotography #canon #canoncanada #photography #photooftheday #photographer #naturephotography #explore #instagram #instagood #instadaily #daily #ontarioparks #island #ferry #bestphoto #photo

Ok, let’s call it #birdsparadise.
#amherstisland for sure is a #haven for #birds. You can find from the smallest #species to the largest one. We saw a #shortearedowl, few #hawks, #woodpeckers and lots of chickadees. It is on must go list every season. It has a vibe that asks you to come back. Will for sure going back for winter. #ontario #birding #windturbine #birdsofinstagram #explore #exploreontario #princeedwardcounty #canonphotography #canon #canoncanada #canon7d #kfconcept #naturephotography #naturelovers #bird #beautiful #instagram #instagood #love #besafe #enjoy #raw_canada

Well last week I had no idea how rare is to see an #owl, I got lucky and saw one 2 weeks ago and took a very regular picture of him. I did a little bit of #study on #birding and realized that it is actually quite hard to find these #beautiful creatures and even harder to take pictures of them. So I decided to go to #amherstisland today as it is the best spot to see these #beauties. Well I managed to see one in #owlwoods but not at all able to take a #photo not even a bad one. Well it was not even the best time to see them but still managed to see lots of other #birds some #hawks #geese #crows and #seagulls. Any how after spending a nice day at the island which I am going back to for sure in winter, I decided that it was time for some #wine tasting. Well you are in #princeedwardcounty what else comes to mind. Pretty much nothing. Had a nice view and good wine at #bergeronestatewinery and a great drive #home. #ontario #ontariowine #discover #explore #exploreontario #discoveron #winelover #naturelover #instagood #instagram #shotoniphone #iphone12promax #apple
Throwback to last thanksgiving when we chilled at a cottage on Amherst Island in Kingston! We had our own private lakeshore, a small bonfire pit, clear sky and sound of small waves that made the experience magical.

Cotton Candy Sunrise
#9x12
#oiloncanvas
.
I don't know if it's because of the moisture in the air off of the lake or the crazy winds we get, but Amherst Island is home to some really incredible sunrise moments.
.
This particular sunrise happened in October on an early-morning run.
.
I run to clear my head and to spend some time in the beauty of the natural world around me.
.
Sometimes I forget to notice it all but mornings like this one just demand to be paid attention to. And photographed. And painted. And hung up in a home where they can brighten up your day, every day.
.
Special thanks to rkaun067 for helping me name this little piece.
.
It’s available now for $120 in person at the lakeside_studiogallery. Coming soon to seaartai.com.

Good Eye
#oiloncanvas
#8x10
.
“I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun”
-Bruce Springsteen
.
Sometimes we miss out on what is wonderful and right in front of us because we’re so focused on what’s hard or painful.
.
It’s a good reminder to be on the lookout for the good. It’s probably there, you’ve just turned a blind eye to it.
.
This piece is named for this song in particular because it was playing when I took the photo. It seemed fitting.
.
Now available in-store only (with two weeks’ drying time) at the lakeside_studiogallery
