Karsten's Korner

My dear friends and greatest collectors recently sent me this photo of their collection of my paintings.  The paintings represent Maine winter, spring, summer and fall, and they have them arranged in a corner of their dining room.  I am currently working on a major (24x48) commission for them.  Thanks guys!

Spring Thaw

One of the many little trout treams that abound in Maine, ready for the first fishermen!  I love fresh caught trout, cooked over an open fire!  This scene is from Trescott, Maine.

This is an 8x10 oil on canvasboard, beautifully framed, priced at $300. This one is now at ARTSANDCRAFTSOFMAINE in Lubec.

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.

Quiet Pond

Along Route 1, in Washington County, this little pond sits just next to the road.  Peaceful!

Call me for price and availability.  8x10 oil on 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!
