My grandson lives amidst the natural beauty of New Hampshire, where his heart belongs to the outdoors—especially the shimmering waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. His love for boating on the lake inspired a series of paintings that began humbly in a small watercolor journal. What started as simple sketches soon blossomed into a flowing theme, each piece echoing the joy of wind, water, and wilderness. While capturing people isn’t my forte—my figures lean more toward stick-like simplicity than detailed portraits—the spirit of each scene shines through in the vibrant landscapes and the play of light on the lake.
