I have great admiration for the small inhabitants of a lake, the fireflies, bugs, and grasshoppers.These creatures give an aliveness to the lakes. If you have been swimming in the middle of a lake, they are usually the only things keeping you company while you swim. The large brush strokes were done with a 35 dollar brush which was exciting to use. The small bits of color on the right bottom that looks like a small village of tiny guardians, it is exactly that.

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!
