"The Great Sacandaga"

As the title states, this is a view of the Great Sacandaga Lake from Clute's Mountain on the North Shore.  For years different people asked us if we'd been to the "other lookout" on the Sacandaga.  We hadn't, so we placed it on our long list of things to do. But there seemed to be nowhere to park to hike the old dirt logging road to the summit.  My cousin Ron and his wife Pam have a place near there and told us they'd take us "sometime".  Like so many other things, that sometime never seemed to come around.  We would run into them through the years and agree that we had to go.  One bright sunny evening we were all at the Presbyterian church for one of their great public dinners when Ron again asked, "When are we going to go to Clute's?''  Gino and I just said, "Whenever you're ready."  After dinner Ron and Pam asked, "How about right now?"  Sometime had finally come.

Ron drove his new pickup truck slowly and carefully up the steep, boulder strewn road almost to the top.  We hiked the short remaining distance and were greeted with this overwhelmingly beautiful sight.  The evening sun caused some wonderful deep shadows on the mountains. We took a lot of photos and savored the panorama in the clear air. Someone had placed a coffee can containing a notebook under a rock for people to write their thoughts of visits to this spectacular ledge and share the experience.

If we hadn't gone that night, we would never had made it there.  A short time later this mountain was purchased and posted to all visitors. We'll always be thankful that "sometime" finally came that evening.

"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.

"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".
