"ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, DON'T LET IT GET AWAY" - u2

I am posting some small paintings of the lake- that is Lake Champlain as in Samuel de Champlain.
"Samuel de Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont, named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World."
Its strange that this year I actually started to paint the lake and it is the quad centennial of Samuel de Champlain. Amazing! There is a theory out there that there is no such thing as coincidence. The happening was meant to be. That digression aside, if you like any of the small paintings of the lake and would like the commemorative logo to accompany the painting, I can accommodate that since the state of Vermont has sanctioned me to use the very attractive logo with my lake paintings. These are miniature paintings for the most part. They sell from $39 to $55.

The sunset on Lake Champlain fills one with awe. I so wonder at this. It is such a treat to see it happen before my eyes. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I spent many childhood days on Lake Champlain so there is a lot of nostalgia associated with it. We are very fortunate to have a beautiful lake in Vermont. It is all the entertainment we need just watching the changes that occur on the lake with wind shifts and light. I took it all in for many years and now it is starting to come out. I find that in itself interesting.
