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.

Causeway Colors

Causeway Colors   SOLD

I am drawn to the colors of low tide waters, the ochres and browns and grays against the greens and blues. This one reminds me of areas along the Causeway, between Maine's Little Deer Isle and Deer Isle. The painting just happened as I was pushing paint around one morning last week. Then I took a drive past the Causeway yesterday and realized that must have been where my senses were that morning in the studio. I like the smell there too.

Christmas Cove - Monhegan

SOLD

Thought this would be appropriate for the season! This little oil comes from a pastel I did on site at Monhegan last summer. Lovely memories of a warmer environment.

I've been quite absorbed with doing custom little paintings for the holidays, so this is the only new one I've posted in sometime. Will get back to more regular postings after the New Year!
