Here’s a little view of the city as seen from one of the piers. I love seeing the dock post, the boats, the lobster traps, the custom house and the city behind … all in one frame. So cool. For me, it’s the grit of the working waterfront that makes our city so special.

November Moon
We’re back for our Sibling series each weekend! We chose this lovely late autumn sunset scene from one of my November walks on the Eastern prom as the first sibling set of 2022. There are so many magical things happening at the same time here … a moonrise, autumn foliage still clinging on, the sunset […]
Sunshine in Gouache
Here are four sunny gouache paintings inspired from my month on Vinalhaven this Fall. I had so much fun exploring trails and shorelines. There was inspiration at every turn and I love trying to capture some of the magic in gouache (similar to watercolour, but more opaque). These paintings measure 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 […]
Soft Winter Sunrise
Here’s a little winter sunrise for you … pre-snow. I love the quiet cold of winter sunrises on the Eastern Prom. They just never get old! I’ll have some more coming soon as I have witnessed some beautiful ones this month. Wishing you all a wonderful 2022 filled with joy, peace and good health. And […]
On the Edge of Fog
Fog on the Maine coast is so fun. It rolls in and out and over everything. Sometimes it breaks open and sometimes it doesn’t. This particular day it looked as though it was going to come in and wipe away the sunshine on shore, but it never did. Such a beautiful sight.
Green Mountains
My brother was up in Northern Vermont recently and went for a hike up Mount Mansfield. So gorgeous! That’s a hike we have done several times together, so we knew it’s be a fun one to paint for our sibling Sunday. This view is looking towards the Northeast Kingdom. Summit views are so magnificent, aren’t […]
Morning Stillness
What a doozie of a week it has been–lots and lots of wind and rain and fast moving skies. I was so thankful to get lost in the quiet of this morning stillness from earlier this month for our sibling Sunday today. I took the first ferry into town one morning and the light was […]
Afternoon Glow in the Basin
I could have just stayed in this moment forever. I walked out of the woods onto the granite ledges and the afternoon light on the little islands, rocks and water was spectacular. I couldn’t help but sit, put my feet in the water and take it all in. I shared a few images with my […]
Island Joy
I sat in the on some warm rocks yesterday morning and painted one of my favorite Lane’s Island views. I just love the pine trees and the brush field on this hill and the way it meets the ocean. And the light sparkling across the water was intoxicating. Just trying to soak it all up. […]
Sunrise Over Isle au Haut
I walked out the the end of the beach this morning to admire the brisk October sunrise. It did not disappoint. This is a view looking over towards Isle au Haut with the trees of Bob Meadow Point silhouetted. It was beautiful and the air felt so crisp and good on my cheeks. 🙂
