                                        While on a trip to a Botanical Garden in Maine, I caught
                                         these two little girls checking out the pond . They
                                         were with a group of other kids all dressed in tie-dye
                                         shirts. I decided pastels was the perfect medium to
                                         capture the beautiful colors and the girls' curiosity.
                               

Salisbury Beach

                                   Heading up to Salisbury Beach in the summer brings back
                                   memories of growing up in Lynn, when our favorite summer
                                   activity was to head to Revere Beach amusement park.
                                   Riding the dodgems and the Merry-go-round as a kid and
                                   when my husband and I were dating,dragging me on the
                                    cyclone(not a find memory) trying to win prizes, and
                                   eating our way along the Boardwalk.
                                   The sounds, the smells, the whole vibe of the place was
                                   just magical. Revere Beach is gone now. Condominiums
                                   have replaced it. So I head to Salisbury Beach just to cap-      
                                   ture a little of that sweet nostalgia.

                                                I love painting from old black and white
                                                photographs. I wonder what these two
                                                Women were celebrating.
