I feel so lucky to have grown up in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
Experience each season, and appreciating what makes each one unique, helps gauge the time.
The seasons serve as a reminder to be present in the moment, notice the small things . . .
the warmth of summer sunshine, a fresh snow fall, the vibrant peak of foliage season, and the sound of the snow melting in spring.
No matter where I live, I will always paint the lake.
The ocean is glamorous - but the lake is peaceful and serene.
Having ventured out from my small hometown on the lake, traveling to/living in different places, my appreciation has grown for the gentleness of the lake.
Each time I paint the lake, I paint it with love . . .
no matter what season it is.
