#118 "Standing On the Dock" 14x11 on canvas

Added sailboats (March 2017)
Original without sailboats
I usually spend the month of August at our family cottage on Sweetwater Lake in Brown County, Indiana. This summer my time was shortened as a result of our wonderful trip to England and Ireland.  I always do a plein aire painting from our dock. This year's was rushed and was a wreck so I decided to try something a little different. This is from a photo I took from our dock on a perfect August afternoon. Just a quickie that I'll probably hang down at the lake.

This summer was special. Mom had her entire family all in one place at one time! We had a great Labor Day weekend at the lake. Mom swam and kayaked! The Aw Kum On Inn once again provided the setting for wonderful memories!

This is our family 2016. Mom sitting 3rd from left in the front row.

This is what our dock looks like when we all get together!

Four generations swimming in the lake. Mom, me, Darcy and Ella!

Jim, your new painting is lovely. The photos from the cabin are just wonderful. Your mom is an inspiration.
