It’s a hot summer day, the sky is a warm orange. The only way to cool down is a summer dip in a lake. Here , the sparkles shine on the water. The Pine trees dance with each other on the edge of the water. Come Swimming they say!.
My background as a Textile designer really was part of this piece. The color placement and movement of the trees are key in this design!
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!
