It is now January 14, 2022 - how very sci-fi that date looks! These be modern times, yet this gal is doing what she can to once again channel her “inner-cave-woman” .   I am in my studio on the bay in the fabulous cultural hub known as the Gore Bay Harbour Centre .  It is a deep chill kind of day (-24ºC ) with a stiff northeast wind that bites at exposed flesh.  So one bulks up with insulative clothing when out and about and since we have full sun today there is reason to whistle a happy tune as well.  Today's view outside the Ravenseyrie Studio & Art Gallery Gore Bay, Ontario / Manitoulin Island Inside, things are not exactly toasty warm with that persistent wind buffeting this old ship of a building, but with a shawl over my shoulders and some hot tea in my belly, the studio is pleasant and inviting enough, methinks for the muse to perhaps come and grant me some creative energy. The "library" sector of my working studio I’ve got my rock painting station all set up
