Waterfall

This is the same site as the May 2 painting- The mill building. This view is just a little to the right of that. I love painting to the sound of rushing water.

Nashua River

I have kayaked the Oxbow section of the river many times but have never painted it. This is a great spot to look for beaver, Baltimore Orioles, Eastern Kingbird,muskrat, blue heron, and deer. I even saw a ribbon snake swimming past my kayak a few years ago.

R.I.P. Tiger Lily


Tiger Lily
A.K.A. Lilybug, Miss Lily, Lil-lil
Nemesis of my mom, the neighborhood cats
And most people.
Skilled and dedicated ambusher of her owners, the electrician
And Kayla the poodle.
Mouser, chipmunker
Occasional bug-eater.
Faithful naptime companion
She is hugely missed.

William


The original has a bit more color than what shows here, and is pastel on gray-green La Carte paper. Will is my nephew. I worked from a photo that I took during Easter brunch at my in-law's. Due to lack of space, Will was stuck at the kids' table.

Charles River


Yesterday my husband and I took his father's pontoon boat out onto the river. He fished- I painted. We didn't have an anchor so every few minutes we would start drifting away. Luckily I have a very patient husband who automatically adjusted the position of the boat.
