This past summer I took a road trip to
Canandaigua, New York with my brother. We ate lunch by the lake and then visited
Sonnenberg Gardens. It was hot and I was feeling tired. We were exploring the gardens when I spotted a set of rocking chairs on the porch and headed straight for them. After rocking in the chair for awhile I noticed there was a patio set around the corner that looked even more comfortable.
"We should do a painting here!" I said to my brother as I plopped down in the comfy padded chair and pulled out my drawing supplies. Yes, I admit it, the motivation for this painting was to sit down and enjoy cool breeze in the shade. While we were painting, a volunteer was playing the piano in the living room inside the mansion, she played a number of classical pieces such as Beethoven's Für Elise.

When we were picking up dinner at a local Wegmans, I noticed there was a
car show in the parking lot. I spotted a DeLorean and I stopped by to
take a look. I took a few pictures but I didn't get a chance to talk to
the owner, I think the trilogy "Back to the Future" creates a lot of
attention for him. People were probably asking him about
flux capacitors or how many jigawatts he needed to get back home!
The
original painting is for sale.
