Ah!  Camping under the stars in a vintage Airstream Travel Trailer in a summer landscape.  This painting describes camping on a warm summer night, close to nature, with mountains in the distance, under a starry night sky. The landscape and a nearby tree are illuminated by the light of the full moon and the inviting warm glow streaming out from within the cozy little camper.

I now have prints, framed prints, canvas prints, and greeting cards available of this painting, on my new website: Sandra Estes Fine Art .

I love going up the coast of Maine.  I did this painting using some photos I took while visiting Bar Harbor Maine for reference.  On Mount Desert Island, I watched and took photos as a couple of lobstermen in Northeast Harbor, loaded lobster traps onto their boat and headed out of the Harbor.

This painting is sold to a collector in Maine.

I thought it might be fun to try some Folk Art paintings on wood. My idea is to paint something more casual or rustic, and keep it simple.

Cows In The Pasture Pastoral Landscape Painting

"Cows in the Pasture"
8 x 10
Acrylic on canvas.

This pastoral landscape painting is of cows grazing in a lush green pasture, with tree-covered hills in the background. In the foreground are a weathered wooden gate, an old stone wall, and wildflowers. My inspiration for this painting is a beautiful pasture along a scenic country road in Chichester, New Hampshire where Holsteins are grazing in the spring, summer and fall.

Autumn in New Hampshire "Albany Covered Bridge" Original Painting

Albany Covered Bridge
8" x 8" Acrylic Painting
Commission

I now have prints, framed prints, canvas prints, and greeting cards available of this painting, on my website: Sandra Estes Fine Art .

This is the 4th of 5 commissions depicting New Hampshire.

The last 2 commissions are for specific places along the Kancamagus Highway, the covered bridge and the river along the Kanc. I did a bit of research and found that it is the Albany Covered Bridge that is just off the Kancamagus on Dugway Rd., and the Swift River that runs along the Kancamagus. I decided to take a field trip to the Kanc to get a better feel for the subjects and take my own reference photos.

These are my reference photos of the Albany Covered Bridge:





Unfortunately, I went in the late afternoon/early evening so there were long shadows. Another challenge was to change the season from summer to autumn.

The couple who commissioned the paintings are from New Hampshire, but now live happily down South and do not miss our long, cold New Hampshire winters. They have a fondness for white birch trees, which do not grow in the South. So, I used a bit of artistic license and changed the trees to the left of the bridge to birch trees.
