Mill Pond Bridge

SOLD

Mill Pond Bridge is kind of on a main road, but when I went to the other side of the pond, it was quiet and peaceful. I found it easy to forget the bustling sounds of people and traffic. That is part of the fun of painting outside... I can escape in plain sight! :)

This is another painting from my weekend in Connecticut. I couldn't resist this picturesque village scene with it's long shadows and afternoon light. When I started painting, the street was quiet with just a few people coming and going. Then, school got out and suddenly the sidewalks filled up with moms and kids walking home. It was so wholesome and charming, just like a scene out of the 50's!

Forgotten Boathouse

The occasion of a wedding took us to Connecticut this past weekend... and what a delight it was! The ceremony and celebration were beautiful, and seeing lifelong friends is always nourishment for the soul. In my downtime, I got outside with paint kit and brushes, and enjoyed the delicious fall weather. This spot was an unexpected discovery, found on my way to a recommended vista. I just had to stop because, well, you know what they say about a "bird in the hand". I never did see that vista! ;)
