Trail Series - Linda Feinberg

Linda Feinberg is the Treasurer for Friends of Art Manchester and one of the original organizers of the group.

She is a hiker and loves living in New Hampshire with all its wonderful trails.  She has been working on a series of small acrylic trail paintings this past year. These are also posted at her website and can be ordered as prints or cards there. 

Fletcher Cascade Trail
This is the beginning of the trail to Fletcher Cascade in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  The trail starts out easily enough, but then climbs and there is a stream crossing on the way up.  The cascades are waterfalls that go over a series of granite steps.  This hike was at the beginning of autumn, the trees just starting to turn.

Linda writes: “My thoughts on starting a trail series were varied. The trails can be appreciated for their innate beauty, or they can be thought of as a metaphor. We all walk on varied paths throughout our lives, some sad and sorrowful, others filled with joy.”
(Artist of the Month, March 2013, Manchester Artists Association)

View from Barrett Mountain
The painting on the right is the view from the trail on Barrett Mountain in southwestern New Hampshire. There were also some views from there towards Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the state.  This trail was much easier and a pleasant climb. It is part of a longer trail that runs north from Massachusetts and goes for many miles. 





Snowmobile Trail at Clark’s Pond
The snowmobile trail at Clark’s Pond in Auburn, New Hampshire follows the abandoned railroad bed for many miles. It is also used by many others, in winter for cross country skiers and snow shoeing. It is used in other seasons for cyclists, walkers and hikers.

Both sides of the pond have trails, but this painting was focused more on this winter trail.




Linda’s blog link is on the right.  She blogs about art, art process, poetry and her travels. Linda did not get to study art until late in life and is thoroughly enjoying her retirement now.
