She was born and raised there along with eight siblings. Married a fellow from the one room school house and lived out her days on the Manitoulin, raising seven children of her own. Her parents were from the Shetlands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-41496056612488446442007-01-16T12:33:00.000-05:002007-01-16T12:33:00.000-05:00Chrissy, this painting is of the Halcrow House on ...Chrissy, this painting is of the Halcrow House on Highway 6 that overlooks 10 mile point. I think that the Our Manitoulin photo is of a different house, between Manitowaning and South Baymouth. I appreciate the supportive feedback you've given me over the past months on this blog. <br /><br />Janet, I'm so glad you made a comment.

The few remaining shells of homesteads around the island evoke the presence of mysterious and subdued spirits, and the range in this painting captures that for me.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938686158421956477noreply@blogger.com
