Cooling shadows over a serene alpine lake. The water is cool and still, reflecting the high mountains and pine trees that line the shore. The summer sun turns the surface into blinding sparkles, glittering like diamonds, while families swim by the shore.
Children’s voices echo off the distant mountainside, adding to the rhythm of the peaceful, quiet day.
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!
