" TWO PINES" Watercolor

This lovely Maine Scene is all about the solitude of islands and coves along the shores of Maine.  Pines trees hold on with their roots clinging to the rugged aged environment .  I see this visual many times while out kayaking enjoying the stillness and sounds of eagles, ospreys and other natural creatures.  Hope this will take you there even for a moment.  This painting is one of many for the 30 paintings in 30 days, along with hundreds of artists all over the world.  Enjoy ~

Reference Photo by Benjamin Williamson, Photography, Maine

~Thank you Ben~

The sunset at Lookout Point in Harpswell, Maine is always outstanding, the reflections when the tide is out the light breeze will shimmer across the waters left behind that fill in all the cracks and holes as the tides continues its ebb and flow.  The water slowly creeps out over the rocks and seaweed and a path becomes visible

to start your cross to explore the island.  This is Joe's Island, which I  have painted many times, its beauty changes with the seasons ~~~~

" FROM THE BRIDGE AT LOW TIDE" DAY #10 / 30 in 30 Days of Painting

Harpswell, Maine a bridge crossing over to Orr's Island shows the low tide today.  My painting depicts the reflections of the the islands and shoals. This day was early morning and a little of the fog bank just starting to lift.  When the tide is completely out you will see the clammers out( up to their ankles) in the mud working, digging for the clams. Back breaking work (clamming) day after day they show up working in the muck getting those tasty hard shelled molluscs.   All for the love of clam chowder, fried clams and steamed clams on our dinner table....

" LET THE SUNSHINE IN " Day 6 - 30 in 30 Days of Painting

Today's painting was inspired by my visit to Cushing , Maine.  The place Andrew Wyeth loved.  Andrew's journey for over 30 years of painting in this area has been captured through his studies. This window in the old Olson Home was my inspiration and the way the sunlight came shinning through made this painting come to life.  Enjoy !

"TEAL COVE" WATERCOLOR

"Teal Cove"

 As a Maine artist, I have explored the coastline, sailing, kayaking and canoeing; my travels have inspired me to create these paintings ~~~~

TEAL COVE is a quiet stop and adventure for small treasures.  Here you will want to take a moment to rest and have a little lunch and explore all this little island has to offer.  Many boaters, have anchored here to collect sea glass, shells, and unique shaped stones of many colors.  Take a little dip in the teal water after a nice walk along the shore before heading back to the mainland.
