Oliver Phelps B&B, Canandaigua, NY Inspired

Walking down Main Street in Canandaigua on a sunny day last fall, I noticed the most beautiful doorway... full of color and splendid details. It is the front door of The Oliver Phelps Bed and Breakfast OliverPhelps.com. I have been working a few weeks to get the color and lighting of my painting to capture that moment and feeling that I had that day. Enjoy! I am so grateful to be living in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State...  To me, its all in the details.... and taking the time to notice them is something that I am striving to do more of in 2010... Be present and listen to that inner voice that says... stop for a moment, breathe and really see...

Arbor Hill Grapery Inspired

One of the kindest and dearest families that I have met in the Finger Lakes area is John, Katie and Sherry Brahm. They own Arbor Hill Grapery in Bristol Springs - South Bristol. Through the past few years I have had the opportunity to develop some new packaging and colateral with the Brahms. It is such a pleasure to experience the love and personal touch that goes into each product that Arbor Hill produces. This painting of John with his cherished Ford Model A that I painted from a photo taken on a gorgeous autumn day at Arbor Hill.

Healthy Purple Jelly and Preserves are DELICIOUS!!!!! Enjoy Black Currant, Blueberry or Black Raspberry on an english muffin...heavenly.

Sparkling Raspberry, Grape and Peach are make every occasion a special celebration.
