Each year my painter friends and I go hunting for the best Lupin fields. We want the big ones, the ones that are five feet tall, where you get lost in a field.
The combo of Lupins and Pines is a magical thing. The back drop of Pine trees and their dark green against the bright Lupins are wonderful.
I have tried to paint the mystical magic of Lupins in these works.
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!
