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.

Repeat Customers

I am so grateful for all the people who have found my artwork worthy of purchase.  And when some customers come back for one, two, or three more, I am just speechless.  What are they thinking?  My most recent multi-painting collector had an answer:  Imagine what these paintings will be worth once you're gone!  Well thanks, guys!

Here's their latest choice.

This is a 9x12 oil on canvasboard, an early Spring scene, titled Down East Forest Stream.
Enjoy, Ellyn & Brad!

Commission: Ronnie's Deer

Just delivered this 24x48 landscape painting of a deer, seen from just outside his cabin in the woods.  What a beautiful spot!  For various reasons, it took over 3 years from start to finish... 

Thanks for you patience, Ronnie & Connie! 

Bull Moose in Pond

Since the Alone Moose Gallery in Bar Harbor sold my Bull Moose in Fog, I brought them another recently completed moose today, Bull Moose in Pond. 

This one is a 14x18 oil painting, framed in Mahogany with gold liner, and priced at $440, available at the Alone Moose Gallery in Bar Harbor.
