Can you feel this late summer day? I stood under an apple tree for shade as I painted the wonderful Vermont hillside and mountain before me. How could I not add that apple branch just over my head? Price available upon request

Welcome to my Art Life!
Louise Minks
I have been painting in the Connecticut River Valley and New England in general since we moved here in 1973. Painting on site is a special joy, even if it means hunkering down in my van so I can paint on a damp and cold winter day. The changing seasons are fun for me since I'm always experimenting with color and vibration. 2008 painting trips took me to Cape Cod, New Mexico, and to Canyon de Chelly, AZ. Watch for paintings on the blog from these trips!
I'm also glad to paint something just for you - commissions welcomed.
I'm currently completing a Canyon Series, based on my September 2008 painting trip with Taos Art School in Canyon de Chelly, AZ. I hope to exhibit these acrylic pieces this spring, 2009. Watch for announcements on this blog and my website!
