I had been wanting to go to Lake George ever since I happened upon a photo of it in a textbook I was proofreading years ago. I didn’t know much about it, though, or realize just how big it is (about 32 miles long!). One of my favorite things to do (yet something I seem to do rather infrequently) is to sit outside and paint in one of two of my little sketchbooks (one is small, and the other is very small), and Lake George is a perfect place for this. I especially love to paint water! Painting outside really fills me with joy – I try to capture the feeling of a place. This is how Lake George felt to me.
