Hannum Road - Hannibal, NY

Wandering around internet map sites can lead to interesting discoveries. My family traces part of its heritage back to Upstate New York, in Fulton and nearby towns. One town over, in Hannibal, NY, there's a Hannum Road. There's a good chance the road was named after some distant relative of mine - perhaps a farmer who owned the property in that area - but that story is probably now lost to time. Here, we see this rural road in fall beneath the waning light of day.

Onondaga Lake with Snow

There hasn't been an inch of snow here in Maryland all winter, so I had to turn to other parts of the country for inspiring winter scenery. This painting was based upon a photo I found along the shore of Onondaga Lake outside of Syracuse, New York. It's a beautiful part of the country, provided you like snow in the winter.

This painting is based upon a photo from this month's Landscape Challenge on the Wet Canvas forum. The scene is of a snowy river somewhere in Upstate New York, a beautiful part of the country.
