Another view inside our town hall.  The light  from the stage cast a lovely, warm glow throughout the room.

My previous post showed the outside of our historic town hall.  This post gives a feel for what was going on inside those walls last Saturday evening as the musicians who make up the Salmon Falls River Friends of Music performed.  In years past, I've always pointed my camera toward the stage.  This year I chose a seat along the side which gave me an interesting view of the performers as well as the audience.  I love this man's relaxed demeanor.

One of the best things about old New England towns is their meeting houses.  Lebanon's town hall is no exception. It was built in 1833 and is still used on occasion for various events including the annual Salmon Falls River Friends of Music concert which was held this past weekend. The building creates the perfect ambiance for this musical event with its tall windows, old fashioned lighting, long benches, creaky floors and enthusiastic music goers.

I must credit my daughter, Meg, for this particular reference photo.  She wandered with my camera for a bit and took some great shots.  I love the angle of this photo.  It makes our little ole town hall seem rather grand, don't you think?

I didn't want to walk away from my easel on a sour note after spending days on a larger painting only to have it end up in the dud pile.  sigh  So, I pulled up a reference photo from my archives and let loose with my paints taking a few artistic liberties along the way. It turned out to be a fun and relaxing way to end last week's
not-so-successful session.

These two mules seemed to have such a great connection that I felt a bit like an intruder as I painted.

I love it when I scour the backgrounds of my reference photos and discover a moment in time I hadn't intended to capture...but did.  This is one such moment.
