A hillside tumbles toward Keuka Lake, where a little red barn with a bright white roof nestles against the trees. In the foreground, a joyful tangle of pink wildflowers dances through layers of fresh greens, yellows, and soft blue.

Loose brushwork, drips of color, and unexpected textures bring energy to this peaceful Finger Lakes landscape. Look closely and you'll discover fragments of printed dictionary pages incorporated into the painting—a playful layer of words beneath the scenery.

Down the Hill to Keuka is a celebration of the Finger Lakes in all their glorious, slightly unruly beauty.
