What a night to be on Monhegan Island! In this painting the fireworks are falling on the mysterious Manana Island. Manana Island is a lowkey island no one lives there now, however it was bought by a New Yorker who wanted to get away from it all. There were a herd of goats living there as well. The ocean is alive with sparkles and there fun pine trees to edge the painting.
When I was eight, our school went to a field trip to Strawbery Banke. I fell in love with it then, the gardens, the crowded turn of the century houses. It was such a beautiful escape. Now I live close by and I paint such an amazing part of Portsmouth.Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in New Hampshire to be settled by Europeans, and the earliest neighborhood remaining in the present-day city of Portsmouth. It features more than 37 restored buildings built between the 17th and 19th centuries in the Colonial, Georgian and Federal style architectures. The darkest colored house is the oldest house in the group. I have a group of historical areas that I am painting, or known as historical paintings. Look out for more!
