In the morning it is fogged in so I will wander down to the lake to see if there is anything I can paint. I had just decided to move on and paint NY another day when I stepped out of my camper and saw the scene right in front of me. There is a young girl at the pop up camper next door and the sunlight had just come out catching the edges of their camper and the American flag. I quickly set up and start painting and after about 45 minutes I am "discovered" by the family and I ask if they mind that I am painting their campsite. Dad Scott and his 2 kids are quite happy to represent NY. They are from Poughkeepsie and are on their way to be a chase crew for the balloon festival starting in Lake George. I promise to email the finished painting. Very nice people.
