Ocean Peek • 6×6 • oil on wood • $150 • purchase link
Catching glimpses of the ocean in any setting is my favorite! Here’s a little trail walk view and I can’t wait to get back here next week. I’ll be spending some time painting on a Maine island where I find magic at every turn. Stayed tuned for more!
East End Rooftop Sunrise • 6×6 • oil on wood • $150 • purchase link
I enjoy quiet time on the rooftop every morning–it’s such a peaceful way to start the day! I love watching the sun come up over the islands and the birds fly by in front of me. I’ve had a thing for rooftop views since living in a 5th floor walk up in Paris once upon a time. What’s so special about this view is the glimpses of the ocean at every turn and seeing the boat activity in Casco Bay. My brother and I decided to do a sibling set of this scene this week–I love seeing how we both interpret a view and what and how we choose to incorporate different details.
Evening Clouds on the Lake • 6×6 • oil on wood • $150 • purchase link
The Fraser families all spent the a few days in North Hero, VT a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice to be together and enjoy Lake Champlain life. Michael and I spent all of our childhood summers on the lake and it’s a place that’s so dear to us. It’s is always a treat to get to be there! My brother has a boat, so we had a great time cruising around and soaking up the magic. Here’s a sibling set from some gorgeous evening clouds we witnessed one night.

Afternoon Stroll • 6×6 • oil on wood • $150 • purchase link
I look out at the ocean and the Casco Bay Islands from our deck and that has me daydreaming about strolling down quaint island streets. I love the ocean glimpses that are around every bend and the way the light comes through the trees and homes and dances on the water. Pure magic.
Sunset Bliss • oil on panel • $150 • purchase link
I have been pulled in many different directions (and locations) over the past 6 months, which has made it challenging for me to paint for fun. I had to surrender and be at peace with letting my studio practice go for a bit. It has been a rollercoaster of a journey, but all is well and I am back in Maine and getting settled in our new home and studio. My brother, Michael, just had rotator cuff surgery 10 days ago and is recovering quietly at home … and he discovered that he is able to paint. YAY! With all of that being said, we figured it was high time we get back at it! Here’s a sunset to celebrate the first Sibling set in quite awhile. It feels so good to be connecting with my brother over art again and to get lost in the beauty of the Maine coast. Cheers!

Rooftop Sunrise • 6×6 • oil on panel • $150 • purchase link
I’ve got a new view. Welcome to my Munjoy Hill rooftop view at sunrise. We moved out of our home of 20 years and into a condo around the corner, and while the whole process was exhausting on so many levels, I am finally happy to report that I am settled and feel so at home here. My studio is small and bright and starting my morning with coffee on this special deck is a real treat. Stay tuned for many more rooftop paintings. 🙂
Much gratitude to our friends and family and our broker, Chessell McGee of Sothebys, for supporting us though the process–we are so grateful and happy in our new home! And we’re so happy that the home we loved for so long has new mojo with a delightful couple and their pups.
Rock Hop Sparkle • 6×6 • oil on wood • $125 • purchase link
We’ve had more winter the past 2 weeks than we had the past 4 months and it has had me daydreaming of warmer days and rock hopping adventures. I can’t wait to sit on the warm granite rocks and dip my feet in the cold, cold water and just soak up the sparkles and magic of the sun on the water. Ahhhhh! But in the mean time, I’ll shovel the fluffy white stuff. 🙂
Climbing Up • 6×6 • oil on panel • $125 • purchase link
I’ve been feeling a little weighed down and defeated with a relapse of an eye issue I had in January and I’ve been dreaming of the woods. I love this path that winds up to a bright opening with a vista full of beauty and light. I’m climbing up! I can see the light! 🙂

Spring Daffodils • 6×6 • oil on panel • $125 • purchase link
Spring is here even though we just had our biggest wintery storm of the season … 6 inches of snow followed by an inch or so of ice and lots of devastation and power outages! And even with the white stuff on the ground there are signs of Spring everywhere. Today I decided to 2 paint of my favorite Springtime things … sailing classes on Casco Bay and daffodils. They both bring me so much joy. The little racing boats are out even though it doesn’t look like they should be — and I love watching them move back and forth in front of the Casco Bay Islands. And of course, the yellow cheer of daffodils is pure sunshine. We have a bunch of pots of them in the house and they are starting to pop up in garden beds too, Such a treat. Yay for Spring!
