The Lawn of the Athenaeum is cool and inviting in the heat of summer. A montage of many of the paintings that I have done of Chautauqua. A way to relax between the busy summer schedule of lectures and performances. If you look carefully between the houses along the lake you will capture glimpses of charming gardens and this lovely trellis. There are all sorts of secret little places that add to the charm of Chautauqua.
Prints are available.
While listening to an afternoon lecture, I painted this in my sketchbook. I when the weather was rather cool, I chose to sit in the little sunshine between clouds and paint. Sitting in the roped off street beside the Hall of Philosophy, I was able to hear a lecture and watch the people while painting. I have printed them for you. NY Trying to grab some of the warm morning sun after two days of cool rain, I sat beside the lake and painted the boats, dock and gate.
