Laudholm Farm is a lovely old home on acres of meadows and forest on the southern coast of Maine. The house and barns sit high on a hill overlooking the marshes and the sea. I paint here in every season of the year.

Island in the Lake
The mountains of New Hampshire are full of beautiful lakes. Lake Wentworth is one of these little jewels. The islands on the lake at sunset looked mysterious and dark. The sky and lake were lit up with glorious sunset color.

Clouds over the Marsh
The clouds were clearing over the marshes after a summer storm blew through. I was lucky enough to be in Ogunquit at sunset just in time to catch the fast moving light and colors as the clouds raced out to sea.

Azaleas in Bloom
Its spring and its early this year. The azaleas were just beginning to bud and now 2 days later they are bursting out! I'm going to have to get out there and paint them again! Time is fleeting. The flowers are here, then they are gone in what seems like a day.

The Pines, Look Park
I grew up in a town in western Massachusetts where there is a lovely park I spent a lot of time in as a child. On a late summer trip last year I painted in the park near an out door theater named "The Pines". Its named after these amazing, huge, old pines that were planted all around it. These are beautiful majestic trees. Under the pines you feel like you are in a cathedral.

Lakeside Reflections
On my painting trips through western Massachusetts there is a tiny lake in a state park I love to visit. I used to picnic here with my family when I was little. It hasn't changed at all. its still wild and rustic. It is in a remote area and always quiet after Labor Day. The cottages across the lake are empty and I have the place to myself. I love sitting on the shore in the warm late summer sun painting.

Williamsburg Barns
The farms in the the Berkshires of western Massachusetts have often been in the same families for generations. The buildings and land have been well cared for. The sugar maples and oaks planted many years ago stand tall next to the stone walls. The barns on this farm looked lovely in the late light.
