At this time of year we are typically enjoying the snow by snowshoeing around our property. Although we experienced a dumping of snow back in November, we have seen very little evidence of the winter season in the past nearly two months. Is this a sign of an early spring? I guess we'll check that on Feb 2, the official Groundhog day when Punxsutawney Phil makes the prediction of whether or not we will have 6 more weeks of winter.

Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, I will not be particpating in any in-person shows this holiday season.  However, you may purchase artwork directly from my website.

There is nothing so irresistible to me as a row of gorgeous red trees with a rock wall in the foreground. I find a lot of this kind of scenery in rural New Hampshire and although I have so many photos that I have taken over the years, there is always room for one more. And to me, each one is more beautiful than the next and will make an awesome painting.

Here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire fall comes out in all its glory. And a good thing since it is my favorite season. I just can't seem to take enough photos of the beautiful area when the trees are dressed to the nines.

We knew it was time. So on July 28, my husband Jim made the decision to bring his little Miniature Pinscher, Jacquay to the vets. We got her when she was 5 months old - she needed a home. She was just 2 weeks shy of being 16 and 1/2 years old.
