Saturday we headed north up the coast…
to visit April and Nathan in their newish beach house (they got it last July). It has an amazing amazing view and April has set up her easel in the living room and is painting there as many days as she can be away from Salem…
Not only are the views beautiful but the house is a gem…built in 1948 and designed by Portland architect Roscoe D. Hemenway, Nathan is an architect and was pleased to be able to get a copy of the original drawings for the house…
The house provides great spaces for April’s paintings…
and other people’s paintings too…here’s a cheery bouquet by Nancy Lindburg in the kitchen…
so after a glass of wine and a good conversation about art and music, while staring at the view… we took one last look
and headed south…thanks Nathan and April for a warm and lovely afternoon!
On The Way 
Congratulations on your new home away from home..The room you shared about recently. Looks cozy!
I WISH it was my house…but hopefully I’ll get to visit now and again…?!
thanks for the trip to the beach :)) the house is lovely and I absolutely love the close-up painting of water…luscious!
