Rocky hill

 I've enjoyed making these small paintings of Schoodic Point, the rocky hills as natural sculpture. The variety of views have allowed me to get intimately acquainted with the landscape, and now will begin work on some very large works working from the memory of these small pieces.

An Island View

AN ISLAND VIEW from Stonington, Maine's Sand Beach. One of my all time favorite spots to paint every summer. I have set up for the day there and painted a series of the same group of rocks as the tide goes out or comes in. This is from that spot, but taking the long view.

Schoodic Mist

SCHOODIC!   Late last summer, I spent the day at Schoodic Point, Maine... the day before Hurricane Irene hit New England. It was very foggy, but still incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring. The Point offers sweeping views of the Atlantic, crashing surf, and miles of granite ledge. For someone who loves to paint rocks...it just doesn't get any better.

Whenever I have a day when I'm not sure what to paint, I draw on my love and memories of islands. It's one of my favorite subjects as a Maine painter.

Cattails at City Forest

6 x 6" Oil on panel

One of the many fun places I painted this summer was Bangor City Forest.  What a treasure this is! I went with my painting friend Nancy and she introduced me to the Beaver Pond. That's where I painted these cattails.

Kenduskeag Stream 2

6 x 6"  Oil on panel

I'm so fortunate to live near Bangor's Kenduskeag Stream. It's a haven of wonderful shapes and color all year long. This piece and it's companion in previous post were done en plein air, and focuses on the abstract shapes made by the rock formations and surrounding reflections.

Islands

I love the islands of Maine...and whenever I am at a loss for an idea for one of my daily oils, I return to the island image. Some come from my imagination or a memory, others from sketches or photos I've collected. I never tire of painting them especially those embraced by fog.
