'East Pond Shoreline'

bit done in the overhanging pine boughs.

Memories of Maine Series Daybreak

'Daybreak'

Oil 8 x 16

Started this one last night, and then finished it up

today. This is the view from the cabin again, but

of the right side of Miller's island as the sun was

beginning to break.

I have to say that I am having more fun with each

painting I do from this series...I think it's because

of all of the wonderful memories it is bringing

forth!

Memories of Maine Series Around the Bend

'Around the Bend'
Oil 6 x 8

Thought I would work on one of the smaller Maine paintings
today. My husband and I had taken the boat out late one
afternoon, and I got some great pictures. This view is
across the pond and to the left of where we were staying.
It was a great little island to kayak around!

is the first in a series of paintings I want to do from
my trip to Maine this past Summer.

Millers Island

'Millers Island'
6 X 8 Oil on archival canvas board
NFS

I just got back from a trip to Maine. Talk about a little piece of heaven...it was wonderful to get up each morning, make a cup of coffee, then go sit out on the dock and watch the sun rise...all to the haunting calls of the loons. This was the only plein air I got done on the trip (did manage a few watercolor sketches for future work). I was having so much fun kayaking through the Serpentine with my daughter, splashing around in the water and painting with my grandkids, fishing and taking boat rides with the whole family. We managed to get to Camden, Freeport and Acadia...have so many pictures to go through, and the possibilities for future paintings are endless.
Now it's back to the real world...
