MONHEGAN ISLAND, MAINE

Monhegan Island is off the mainland of Maine. Artists from all over the world travel here to paint. The Weyth's have a home here and have painted for many years.  It can get rough along the shores of the cliffs.

" HANGING OUT TO DRY" Day # 7 / 30 in 30 Days of Painting

This is a true story : I was out on Monhegan Island, Maine 2 wks ago, and this Cormorant was literally hanging himself up on this line to dry.  They have no oil on their wings, so they must open them to dry in the wind.   I found this to be so funny, snapped a photo and thought it would make for a interesting "painting".  I really had fun painting this  "crazy bird" laughing while this creation came to life for me ~

DAY 2 Of 30 Paintings in 30 Days: "MONHEGAN ISLAND, MAINE"

Monhegan Island ten miles off the coast of Maine with 200 foot cliffs on the East side of the Island.  My travels last week to the island inspired this painting.  The calm west side of the island has many sailboats passing through the small passage between Monhegan and Manana Island.  The wild Roses ( Rose Rugosa) are fragrant throughout the island. Many artists travel here to paint!

I was also excited to see my article in the Bangor Daily Island about being the Jet Port Artist!
