"Adota's View"

We stood atop Indian Head (a rock
formation resembling the face of a Native American man) many years ago
when descending Nipple Top. The day was hot and humid with hazy views,
but we could tell the scene from these ledges would be worth a return
trip. Three years ago Gino and I chose a clear day and again hiked the
Lake Road and climbed Indian Head. We had a late start and a
longer than prudent talk with a jovial man, at the gate to the
Adirondack Mountain Reserve, who resembled Santa. So when we made it to
our destination, it was late in the day. But the lower shadows on the
mountains under the blue skies made a spectacular scene. Colden and
Nipple Top were on one side, with the Ausable Lakes far below. Sawteeth
was right “in your face” with Gothics, Armstrong, and the Wolf Jaws
close by. Even though Indian Head is dwarfed by the bigger peaks, it is
a truly awesome vantage point.

"Sneezeweed and
Bumblebees"

I
usually don't paint the "special shaped" balloons, but Aerial Marketing's
"Little Bees" are adorable. Lily and Joey have visited our
Adirondack Balloon Festival the last two years and are a favorite of
everyone. If conditions are just right the expert pilots
launch them together with their hands attached by Velcro. In the
air they sometimes "kiss".

"Winter Glow"

Yes, hot air
balloons do fly in the winter. The colder air keeps the crown of
the balloon from overheating, a problem in the heat of the summer.
My husband took a wonderful flight a couple of years ago from the ice on
Lake George. The colors of the balloon looked spectacular against
the snowy mountains. These barns are from Washington County, a
favorite landing area.

"Landing Field"

Our neighbors
have a riding stable and a large herd of horses. I wanted to do
this painting so went to find the perfect horse for the scene.
This one seemed to fit the bill, and when the neighbors saw it they said
it was their daughter's horse, "Denver".

"Yep, It's
Crop"

We were crewing
for this balloon when darkness set in and it was suspended above hills
and electric wires. The pilot made a decision to set down in the
safety of a corn field. When we arrived, she gave the balloon a
little heat and we walked it out above our heads and the stalks. The
farmer was there and refused payment for the small amount of corn that
was damaged. When they are flying these pilots ask if a possible
landing site is grass or crop, not wanting to land in the latter.
This was was for sure, yep, it's crop!
