Early morning at the Lake
Northern Wayne Community Library
Lucky me gets to spend my summers living in the idyllic northeast corner of Pennsylvania. There are 18 lakes in the township where I’m living, and our summer home overlooks one of them. In the village nearby there’s a wonderful little library that is a gathering place for locals and summer people. Each summer I volunteer to teach a 3-day children’s art workshop in the library. I’ve met lots of great people through the summer art lessons, and have enjoyed helping the kids produce some awesome artwork.
This summer the kids painted subjects that are familiar in this area: water lilies, bullfrogs, colorful spring and fall trees, and the Great Blue Heron. One young lady painted cupcakes!

 |  Rosie, whose family has a cottage on the lake where I live, came to the art lesson each day with her mom, Meredith. Meredith is a talented photographer, with a good eye for color and composition. I invited Meredith to join us when we drew the Great Blue Heron. She created a beautiful heron using colored pencil and pastel. |
Here are some of Meredith's beautiful photos, taken at the lake:

I’ll miss the lake and all of my friends here when I return to Coopersburg in September~ but it will be great to see my talented students at Blue Church Art again when the art classes resume in a few weeks!
