Homework for our first June meeting: Pick a landscape painting, then tell a fictional story of what happened on that landscape. I’ve linked the image below my short story. Here’s what I shared:

Landscape

It is a beautiful Friday afternoon as the man jogs along the boardwalk on the south side of Lake George. He slows his pace, thankful to be under the shade of the wooden canopy. He notices the ducks and swans afloat near the shoreline.

The jogger is amazed at the emptiness of the park. Even the lakefront gazebo is empty. He turns and glances back toward the clock tower. Almost 3:30. He does his cooldowns then heads to his car which he parked on Main Street. After a quick shower, he’ll be back here to help setup for the Hobart Jaycee’s June 1st festival at the other end of the lake.
