Don't you just love "lovers' lanes?' In the beautiful little town of Bristol, RI, there's a gorgeous 'summer home' mansion that's open to the public as a kind of museum. They're preserved the house as it was long ago, with the gorgeous grounds, as well as furnishings inside. On the side of the property leading down to the private dock, is Lovers' Lane. When I first painted this, I knew I had a problem, because the camera could not focus - my values were all in the middle! So I deepened the darks and lightened the lights, and now.... take someone's hand and go strolling beneath the canopy!
