Well, I hate to let go of summer but looking out my window and waking up to 38 degree weather tells me it's time.
This will be my last image with a summer feel but it is one of my favorite scenes...very calming.
I have been working on scenes from New England as I am in a gallery in North Conway (White Mountain Artisans) and need to bring up some new paintings.
We are having our Annual Ciderfest at the mill this weekend. We only make apple cider once a year at our historic, 1908, mill with all proceeds going to the NH Food Pantry. It is a fun time and the weather is supposed to be nice.
I only have one art show left to do in Groton, Massachusetts, and then my studio/gallery will be open Thurs. thru Sat. until Christmastime.

Dockside

This is a familiar scene at lakes throughout the country. It is the best way to experience the "quiet" of a lake. You can hear the loons calling here in New Hampshire.

I don't have many complaints about motor boats as they serve their purpose. It's just a whole different experience in a canoe or kayak as you feel part of the lake and surroundings instead of an intruder.

When I paint, I start with all my darks first and build on them. Shadows vs. light gives your painting the depth necessary to draw a person into the picture. Life can be so hectic so I love to paint peaceful scenes and something that makes you smile within when you pass.
