BROOKWOOD GARDEN, COOPERSTOWN

After a rather busy Labor Day Weekend. It's nice to be able to spend some quiet time in a lovely garden by the lake in Cooperstown. Brookwood Garden is a lovely Italianite Renaissane garden on Lake Otsego, New York.

SUMMER VIEW

There's a kind of hazy beauty in the air …love these breezy summer mornings!

BLACK RASBERRY

My studio is my artist statement… it's set up for ongoing projects. I'm focusing on my floor this morning. The black berry comes from my garden. Wild blackberries are very thorny, but totally delicious!

ROSE SEASON

BY THE LAKE

Can you hear the gentle breezes, trilling birds & the sound of lapping water? En plain air painting with oil pastel, Cooperstown, New York

POPPY SEASON

one subject, many inspiration

The poppy in my garden tend to self seed. Dazzling & carefree, it's always a surprise to see what & where the poppies will show up. These enchanting blossoms only last a few short days. But it last long enough for me to make some hand painted card to add to my collection on ETSY. Spend a few dollars to make someone's day!

SUMMER BOUNTY

From garden to studio…settling down to paint some lovely flowers. Florals & more florals this time of year.

TYPICAL DAY

If there's such a thing, a typical Summer day usually starts in my garden. With teacup in my hand, I soak in the early morning light. I usually find something to put in my sketchbook.
