This is a painting I did for my step-father-in-law.  He and my mother in law were big fans of covered bridges.  This bridge, in the Hudson Valley, is a special favorite of his.

Video Mega Fun!

I did a small painting of a beautiful sunset I saw over the Shawangunk Mountains in New Paltz, NY.  I had some cool techie fun making a time lapse video of the painting!!  You can see the video on Instagram if you search for me, lauriesammonsart.  Or, if you don't have the app, you can see the video here.

I have been on a bit of a hiatus from my blog.  A little R&R is always good.  Fortunately I still got some art in while I wasn't blogging.  It was easy with beautiful scenery all around me :-)
