Dyce Head Lighthouse

Monday I participated in a Plein Air paint-out in Castine, Maine with a group of plein air painters from Bangor, led by Michael Vermette.  We scouted the areas for painting opportunities and settled on the lighthouse at Dyce Head.  Here is the result of my efforts, touched up after an after-dinner critiquing session with the group.  I was intrigued, not only by the beautiful lighthouse, but by the adjoining keeper's house, plus, of course, the lilacs in full bloom in the bright morning sunlight.

This is an oil painting on an 8x10 canvasboard.  If interested, contact me at 207-266-6027 for price and availability.

The Road to Somes Sound

This old pine has greeted many a traveller on Mt. Desert Island, just as Somes Sound comes into view.  I love the rugged look and the sweep of the elegant limbs - all superfluous little dry branches have been stripped off by the merciless Maine weather.  It's probably the most photographed tree in Maine!

This unfinished 11x14 oil painting will be priced at $480, beautifully framed.  It's destined for a gallery in Bar Harbor.  Call me for price and availability.
