In October 2024, I went to New Hampshire to Hampton Beach and stayed in a house next door to this one. I was amazed by the location of the home on the salt marsh and the views it must have had.
The home was immaculately kept with flower boxes in all the windows and a stunning garden. This house radiated love for the home and location. I met the owner who let me walk and photograph her garden. The Salt Marsh is full of life with Great White Egrets dotting the landscape. On this day the sky was overcast as a storm was rolling in yet the sun still shone on the house through the clouds. In this painting I tried to capture the lighting hitting the house through the clouds.
