Keeseville Public Library

Each year the Keeseville Public Library hosts an art show and sale.  This year the show runs from July 7, 2016 to August 4, 2016.  Not sure how many people attend the show but I thought I'd give it a try with some local views.

Obviously, I was fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time to take this shot

These waterfalls on exist when there has been LOTS of rain.  The rest of the year they are dry.

Adirdonack Art Association Show 2016 #2

It's July 2016 already and we're on the 2nd Summer Show at the Adirondack Art Association Gallery in Essex, NY

I have two new pieces for the 2nd show plus one older piece.

Essex Red Chairs (sold)

I saw this image originally in a regional magazine and was sure that it was manipulated since I didn't think that you could get both Camel's Hump, the mountain in the background, and Split Rock, the small island in the foreground together in such a way.

I decided to see if I could find the spot where it was "taken".  Lo and Behold, there is a spot on the Albee Road in Essex, NY that the view can be seen.  This is my result.

Sunflower Morning

This picture was taken in 2014 at a very difficult time of my life.  I had just been diagnosed with cancer and was having a hard time with accepting the fact. I was told about these sunflower fields a few miles from my house and decided to check them out.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  I spend about 90 miles taking photographs and in the process got soaked since it was an early humid morning and the sunflower were covered with a heavy due. 

A few days later when I went back the sunflowers were still there but had gone past their peak color.

Essex Inn

I have used this picture in other exhibits.  Not sure why I like it, but it appeals to my eyes.  The Essex Inn is a gorgeous building just down the street from the Adirondack Art Association gallery.
