Okay... these are all paintings done more recently...one of a scene in the higher altitudes near our beautiful former home in the Southern Sierras of California... and several of various things in New England.

Sierra Spring
12x16, Oil
Copyright 1997, K. Weston

Spring comes late at the higher elevations in the Sierras... this is loosely painted from several reference photographs taken in late July, early August...  I was so enchanted by the masses of spring wildflowers, particularly when it was about 100° on the floor of the San Joaquin Valley!!!

New England Church
16x20, Oil
Copyright 1997, K. Weston

This is composed from two locations... the rock wall, trees, bushes, etc., from Rindge, New Hampshire, across the road from the Basket Lady's house and shop... and a church transplanted into the painting from near Portsmouth.  I love New England... finally got to visit there and it was beyond my wildest dreams... One of my daughters lived with her family in Brookline, New Hampshire, and I truly enjoyed my time there.

Hampton Beach
16x20, Oil
Copyright 1997, K. Weston

Hampton Beach was mostly closed down for the winter... couldn't even find a restroom (YIKES!!!)... but it was a lovely day and a fine visit there with my children and grandchildren.  They have some ferocious winters there on the eastern seaboard, so few people live there through the winter.  There are quite a few more buildings there, but I like to imagine it before it was quite so built up.  In any case, it isn't "built up" like California built up.

Portsmouth Pumpkins
16x20, Oil
Copyright 1997, K. Weston

Well, the building, trees and flowers are from Portsmouth... and I'm not sure where I was when I acquired the wagon...  It was next to the hardware store (in Peterborough, I think) and near the place where she got her hair "done," wherever that was!

The Angel of North Conway
16x20, Oil
Copyright 1997, K. Weston

The angel appeared to be one of those things from the front of a ship... what the heck do you call those? (DUH!  It's a figurehead.)  Everywhere in New England, people decorate their houses, mailboxes, businesses and yards... there are flowers everywhere (in season), corn shocks and pumpkins everywhere in the fall.  More people seem to care about making the world clean and beautiful and I felt a much stronger sense of "community."  I had always heard of the standoffishness of New Englanders and I didn't find that to be true at all  Everyone I met was lovely to me, went out of their way to be kind, and the majority of people there still have manners and standards.  It was like going back in time 40 to 200 years, but with all the modern conveniences.

Later on, you'll find one more painting on the Mangled Language page.
