Bad Little Falls

This week, Machias is celebrating their 250th anniversary, and as part of the weeklong program, yesterday they offered a plein air paint-out and wet auction.  I painted the view of the falls from the Machias riverbank in the parking lot just behind the Woodwind Gallery and the hardware store.  The painting sold at the auction that evening.  Michael Vermette and Kay Carter from the Plein Air Connection also participated.  Michael's painting earned a "best in show" ribbon!

This was an oil painting on an 11x14 canvasboard.

Commission - Winter by the Sea

This 9x12 winter scene from the rugged coast of Maine depicts the customer's back yard, with a view towards Cadillac Mountain on the horizon.  Scenic, postcard view!  Their photo, joint enhancements, all mistakes are mine.  Who says winter scenes are dull and colorless!

SOLD!

Really enjoyed working together on composition, design, colors.  Looking forward to the next assignment!
