Gunnal View

It’s the last week of July and typically this is the premier vacation time for most of us here in the North Country. However, this is a unique year, month, week and with the increase of COVID cases in this area, we’ve decided to stay close to home this summer. But we have much to be thankful for: our daughter and her family have successfully transitioned to a new job and settled in a new place in a relatively short time! Last Sunday, we celebrated the dedication of our youngest granddaughter, Lyndie Ida. She is such a happy baby and a wonderful blessing to her parents, Dan and Krista, and her older brother, Brecken. And after several years of absence, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to reconnect with our now-grown twin sons! We are indeed thankful!

This week’s painting continues my love-of-water series! Gunnal View is a 7” x 12” watercolor painting and features the wonderful perspective along the top edge (gunnal) of a canoe and on to the beautiful scenery ahead.
