Merrimack River Painters

My painting life

By BETSY JANEWAY

I like to watch birds and study plants.

I kayak to see Arethusa orchids in a nearby bog.

"My Blackwater River"

I sketch and paint outdoors, on the banks of the Blackwater River in Webster, NH, and on an island in Maine.

"Sailing Sophie J"

"Arriving"

"Island Laundry"

"Island Maple"

I love to paint farm animals, like my neighbor’s goats.

"Brandon's Goats"

Watercolor has always been my one and favorite medium. I love its uncertainty and its portability.


And I love my fellow Merrimack River Painters.
