Sea Smoke I & II

I’ve been meaning to finish these paintings of that incredible sea smoke from the arctic blast we had back in February, and I figured today’s snow day was the perfect day for it! That weekend of the deep freeze we headed out in the car for some frigid sight seeing and it was so gorgeous. […]

Morning Light Show

Last week I took the pups out in the yard for an early morning tinkle and I could tell that the sky was working on something spectacular. I bundled up and headed down to the Eastern Prom where I was treated to the most incredible light show–the sky was on fire! And it lasted for […]

Afternoon Cove

What a beautiful day we had today–mild temps, sunshine and more daylight than yesterday! One step closer to spring. Ahhhh. And I just felt like getting lost in the beauty of an afternoon walk on the shores of a lovely island cove. The light, the colors, the water were just what I needed to surround […]

Winter Head Light

We had a nice little stretch of winter weather complete with snow storms and a cold snap. It was so beautiful. After one of the storms we decided to go for a spin and see our favorite places covered in snow. Here’s the Portland Head Light basking in the morning light after a fluffy snowfall. […]

Cardinal in Snow

The snowfall on Friday was so beautiful! I was sitting at the kitchen table looking out the window and a cardinal popped into the frame. I just love cardinals. They are so vibrant in our winter landscape and so sweet to watch. This one sat on the branch for a minute and then hopped around […]

Island Lookout

Winding up a narrow trail through the mossy trees and big granite rocks was a treat in itself! And then being rewarded with this view was just the icing on the cake. Wow. So much beauty and sense of freedom here. I love this little Ten Cent Island that sits framed between the tree branches […]

Morning Light

This little island was singing and dancing as the morning light hit it. I was on my paddle board with my pup enjoying the stillness and the arrival of the warmth of the morning sun. And of course the seals that followed us–they are soooo cute. Such a treat!

The Moon is Up

Watching the sun and the moon are a favorite pastime of mine. Soooo peaceful! It’s so magical to witness the beauty and quiet of a moon coming up over the ocean and coastal islands. If the sky is clear and there’s a full moon on the calendar, I can’t help by try to catch it. […]

Sunset Rocks

Sitting at the water’s edge watching the sun go down is such a treat. This was one of my favorite island perches for both sunsets and sunrises. I loved how the tide level was ever-changing and sometimes revealed so much rock and seaweed, and at other times, ate them up. Ocean magic.
