Nestled between hills covered with traditional wineries and family-run B&Bs is Canandaigua Lake. After a morning in the warm waters, we peruse the village shops on Main Street. We ended up at the restaurant at the marina watching the courteous boat traffic. Our lazy journey to Naples seems almost heavenly as we pass roadside fruit stands overlooking the lake. A great place for a summer day. 

This painting would look best in a space that is deep red, dark orange, navy blue, burgundy red, dark green, cadmium yellow, purple, beige, black, white, gray, or wood

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This painting would look best in a space that is light red, yellow, orange, green, blue, deep purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood

Blue and Green Birch Forest

Birch trees have always been a meditative source for me. Growing up, there was one outside my window that I would look at while daydreaming. And, when I needed to get away from the world I went to a grove of Birch trees to find refuge. I’ve always found the unique and nearly useless white tree interesting.

This painting would look best in a small bright space that seems bare.  It would also compliment a space that is yellow, orange, navy blue, purple, red, dark green, beige, white, black, or wood.

Near Quebec City, in the St. Lawrence River, is the Île d'Orléans.  We spend the day parallel to the coast on Chemin Royal stopping at roadside markets, colonial markets, and wineries.   Seeing where my ancestors settled after leaving France in the 1600s.  We ended the day in Sainte-Pétronille with art galleries, coffee, and chocolate.  Just relaxing and enjoying the view.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, light green, blue, light purple, beige, black, white, or wood.
