This very large Japanese Maple has been gracing the turn in our driveway for at least the past thirty years.

A fun studio Session!

It has been brutally cold here in our little corner of New Hampshire this week with a wicked wind chill. Great for making snow, however. Something the slopes are happy to see given the temperature roller coaster we have been riding most of the winter so far.

Thanks New Hampshire Home Magazine for the privilege of photographing Brad and Sharon Malt’s beautiful Peterborough, NH garden.

Here’s a Photoshop action that will allow you to turn your images into beautiful illustrations.
