Winter Rooftops

We’ve had a lot of construction on all sides our house over the past 5 years and after one of the jobs was completed we got to go up to a top floor balcony and take in this winter view of some Munjoy Hill rooftops. That’s Howard Street down below looking towards the Eastern Prom, […]

Pastel Fort Gorges

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you beauties! We’re sharing more Fort Gorges love for our sibling set this week. So many soft colors glowing on this particular sunrise from earlier this winter. Such a treat! :-). And it’s always so fascinating to see how we interpret scenes and color–Michael usually has a softer interpretation […]

Avocado Still Life

I was slicing an avocado the other day and realized that my brother and I had not yet painted a still life for our sibling set, so when we started to talk about what to paint, I said how about an avocado. We went for it and had lots of fun doing so . I […]

Morning Glow

On this particular morning I was sleepy and dragging my feet to take the pups for a walk. As soon as I got outside I could see that the sky was starting to glow and the sunrise lover in me perked right up and took over. I grabbed the pups and headed for nearby Lane’s […]

Hunter’s Moon

I’ve been meaning to paint this gorgeous October moonrise I witnessed from Geary’s beach on Vinalhaven this Fall, and today was the day. I had gone for a late afternoon hike and pondered watching the moon come up from high atop a rocky ledge, but realized I might be in trouble getting down the rock […]

Cotton Ball Sunrise

We’ve got a sunrise sibling set for you this week. This was one of those mornings where everyone ran outside to watch the magic unfold. I had already been down on the Eastern Prom with the pups and was back home getting the critters their breakfast when I saw an insane pink glow over Munjoy […]

Spring Observatory

We painted a recent winter Observatory painting the other day as our sibling set and I was inspired to continue with the theme of the Observatory, but chose a different season and angle to paint. Here’s the Observatory as seen from Cumberland Ave–I love all of the architectural lines happening here, as well as the […]

Dusk on the Hill

This week’s sibling set is a recent view from my street corner looking towards the Portland Observatory–one of my favorite landmarks–at sunset. We both just love this silhouetted scene. Hope you do too! It’s just so moody.
