Here are 3 Western New York inspired paintings. The beach is at Lotus Bay on Lake Erie where Toby has a summer home. It was a cloudy day and then the sun broke through and lit up the clouds and water. The other scene shows Lake Erie when it's calm and the waves barely ripple as they come ashore. The farm is an Amish farm in an area about 25 miles south of Toby's house where many Amish families have settled in the Conewango Valley, Cattaraugus County, NY.
