When I took the photos for this portrait the snow was on the ground.  But with the help of some reference photos taken during the spring and summer, I was able to adjust and add to the landscape.

This is a lovely home with lots of historical charm, one of Milford's best.

The medium I used is gouache, an opaque watercolor that is saturated with color, one of my favorite mediums.

Now if we could have our wish, a warm and sunny spring would be here now to replace all the rain and fog that seems to be dominating our region.
