Laura A. Crowell (Swartz)

Here I am with my daughter Emily.  To the right is a painting I did of the view from our neighbor's porch at Sandy Neck (a barrier beach on Cape Cod).  I have visited my grandfather’s cottage since I was little and every summer I take hundreds of photographs.  Now in the winter I take my favorites and turn them into paintings.  My husband Eric and I have a boat in Barnstable harbor and we take a short ride over.  I hope you enjoy seeing my paintings! I've included other things such as drawing shells and flowers, creating fun colored pencil drawings, and doing portraits from photographs for people.  Enjoy and please contact me if you're interested in ordering a print or painting!
