For our sibling set this week we’ve got pieces inspired by a trail walk I did the other day that dropped me at the end of a cove with these huge granite rocks. I just can’t get over all of the granite ledges everywhere. They really are magical! And the lower the tide, the more […]

I can just feel the daylight being squeezed out of these gorgeous October days, but that’s ok, because the sunsets have been magic. I caught this one on the bridge to Lane’s Island the other day and it filled me right up. Just look at the glow! I’m trying to take in as many of […]

Every painting tells a story and I’m going to tell you the behind the scenes story to this one. I headed out on a morning painting adventure yesterday, determined to find a little trail I had heard about. It was somewhat hidden, but I propped my bike up against a tree and followed a narrow […]

I took a late afternoon hike the other day on a trail that I had never been on before and there were so many wonderful elements of surprise–including this spectacular view looking down Long Cove.

My little friend Pebbles joined me, leading the way on the trails and then napping by my side while I painted. I perched myself on the granite and painted this sweet little view of […]

It’s so much fun to explore! Yesterday we walked a couple of small trails off of Tiptoe Mountain Road and everything about the walks was magical … the sound of the water, the birds chirping, the green moss cushioning the forest floor, the smell of pines, the light shining through and of course the breathtaking […]
