I do the Keene valley art show every year .It is a long drive for me although quite pleasant once I am set up in the beautiful Keene valley surrounded by mountains .The trip allows me also to paint there and enjoy the lakes!There can be challenges with a two day outdoor show like wind and weather,all in all I sell a few originals and prints to help me paint and stay there for a few days.I am left uplifted and intoxicated from the mountains and lakes only after a few days there.I enjoy swimming in the envigorating water and walk in the clean forests.This is what I want to convey in my artwork!I feel we are increasingly out of touch with the simple gifts nature can show us.
I highly recommend the hairport in lake placid for a haircut and the green goddess health food store for nourishment !!
