I love a night dip in the lake at night. If there is a full moon all the better. Summer is one of the best time inthe mountains. The air is warm and the fireflies are out. It took me three years to figure out how to paint light hitting a lake but I got it!
This pieces is more abstract on the bottom. I took a lot of chances with bringing colors together to bring out the bottom of 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!
