Upper Congress Street near the top of the Hill can be quite picturesque in winter. A couple of winters ago, we took a walk in a light snow one Saturday morning. I remember the morning, because I took a photograph of a bike stranded in a snowbank nearby. As a matter of fact, we took lots of pictures of a recent snowfall. Here is a little insight into what Elenka is working on at the moment. I enjoy watching her progress through a painting. These days, her French easel is set up in the kitchen near the woodstove and her computer usually has some recent movie, a favorite soap opera or Downton Abbey playing as she paints. You see, it's true, I'm not the only entertainment in her life.
This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI never saw such a scene on Munjoy Hill until this photo! I'll bet Elenka's version is stunning, as I've seen her paintings at her site.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just realized this IS Elenka's watercolor, so it IS Stunning! Mr. B & Elenka: I'll be at Evening for Educators Saturday morning. Perhaps I'll see you there?
DeleteThis picture is wonderful, the red detail is spectacular!
