Peconic River Herb Farm

While driving on the Eastern end of
Long Island, we stopped at the herb
farm which is 14 acres of a photographer's
or painter's "paradise" full of colorful
flowers and old cottages like you see
here.

Remember When ?

The reference picture was from a
small collection of Vintage hats that
was displayed in an Upstate
New York Boutique. I love hats,
especially floppy ones. Didn't you
love to see the old movies where
the Ladies wore hats all the time?
Ahh, those were the days...!

Tuscan Hidden Garden

The reference picture was given to me by
a friend, who requested a pastel painting
of Tuscany. Tuscany is full of hills,
mountains and beautiful courtyards. I
especially love the old stone walkways
and archways leading into those magical
gardens.
