This is a painting deep in the North Woods of New Hampshire. I was inspired after reading about Emily Carr's life and work in "The Forest Lover". I've been a lover of forests all my life and I would like to preserve them. Maybe painting them will ... 

This is one of the 5 paintings I did the week I was in Edgartown. It is of the Harborview Hotel, right infront of the lighthouse. I loved the victorian architecture, the gazebo and surrounding area. Everyday I went back to the same site and rotate... 

This scene is visible on the way to Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, NH, one of our favorite places to visit in the world. It absolutely rages in the Spring. I've been wanting to paint this scene for a long time. It is a two part painting or "dipt... 

This is the completed diptych of the Back Bay in Boston. Its mainly a rooftop view of the Fall on Newbury Street. It kept my mind on something other than freezing to death during the 2011 Halloween storm and 4 day power outtage. Like reading a goo... 

My husband and I went to college in Boston and met there as well. I lived in the Back Bay and had to walk to school everyday about 10 blocks there and 10 back. I had a wonderful view of the beautiful Back Bay buildings in all types of weather. lol.... 

I found this scene from the bait and tackle shop where my husband picks up fishing supplies. I loved the tall and interestingly shaped reeds waving infront of the architecturally rich village of Essex. I also love the color contrast going on here t... 

I saw this scene and immediately knew what colors it was exuding (at least in my painter's brain.). the warmth of the orange sand tells you its summer but the dark blue of the clouds makes it look like a threatening sky. Truly a scene to be appreci... 

I sketched this scene at the "clam shack" at Tuck's Point in Manchester-by-the-sea in Massachusetts and then took it back to my studio in Lowell to paint it. the chairs look inviting for a conversation and the landscape is the perfect summer scene (... 

I painted this outside sitting on a dock last summer at Tuck's Point in Manchester-by-the-sea. I loved this scene. It was so crowded with boats but seems quiet anyway. My family was fishing nearby or playing on the beach. 

This is a very old painting of my father's cottage on Half Moon Lake in Barnstead, NH. Our family loved to spend time here in the summer and in the winter we went up to go sledding. It had a wood stove for heat. My husband loved to fish there too.... 

This is another of my early paintings from my brother Jerry's collection in Vermont. However he traded it in for other pieces so I repainted some surfaces and intensified the colors a little, giving it new life. It was very muted before so I think t... 

 

This is another early painting in my career. I've always loved it and considered it a gem. This is another painting in my brother Jerry's collection. Its nice to have an artist for a sister. 

This is a very early piece for me in my career. I love it and have given it to my brother Jerry, who has amassed quite a collection of my work for his home. It reminds me of being at the beach and looking at what the tide brings in, swirling shapes... 

This is the second painting I made on Martha's Vineyard during my week of painting en plein air. It has a great view of architecture, Chappaquidick Island and the harbor. What a beautiful place!
