Cheery and Elm | Oil painting 2023

This is the view from the cottage in Vermilion, Ohio, whose walls have held decades of laughter among loved ones. Every time I’m stopped in my tracks by the view from this spot, I am reminded of the peace and gratitude I feel in this place. I decided to paint this view to bring peace and gratitude to my family and friends no matter where we are.
