The Downey’s Farm crew in Caledon, Ontario, has been busy, adding the concrete around the giant letters, finalizing the sloped paths, adding soil, and even laying the sod to make things look perfect. They will open the farm to guests this coming weekend. This is just one of many ambitious projects they have tackled this season. I’ll bet these letters will be a very popular spot for a group selfie!
Kraay's features loaded
This morning, the features going to the Kraay Family Farm in Lacombe, Alberta, were loaded onto the truck. As usual, the lifting was done by Greg of Wishlow Cranes. JD Transport is handling the driving. The shipment is scheduled for Thursday morning. We are looking forward to seeing pictures of the features when they are installed. Stay tuned…
Waterloo tree
As always, during my drive around southern Ontario, I was constantly on the lookout for reference material for future drawings. It seems the best subjects pop up when it isn’t possible to stop because of narrow shoulders on the road or heavy traffic. When it was safe, I stopped to grab a picture. The night before I headed home, I stopped in a parking lot of a Costco in Waterloo to take a picture of this wonderful specimen. I did most of the drawing on my way home during the airport waits and layovers. It will be a companion piece to the ‘sentinel tree’ I did a week ago.
