There is an old Eskimo proverb that says summer is “The season of inferior sledding”. Those that live along the northern New York border can truly identify with this. But it is the long winters that give summer its unparalleled preciousness. In this watercolor painting of an Adirondack chair in a midsummer setting, there is a sense of rest and relaxation. The open gate in the white picket fence draws the viewer to the sparkling blue river beyond. It is an afternoon that will be long remembered, not for what happened, but for what didn’t happen. Edition is sold out. A few artist proofs may be available.
