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.

Friends of Baxter State Park Benefit Auction

Several members of my painting group, the Plein Air Connection, me included, were selected to participate in a benefit paint-out and live auction on July 24.  We scattered along the Kenduskeag Stream in Bangor and captured our favorite scenes, returning to 51 Thomas Hill Road to frame our wet paintings.  Here is a (bad) snapshot of my painting, an 11x14 oil on canvasboard.  The title is Lover's Leap, Kenduskeag Stream.

 

 

It was purchased by Mr. & Mrs. York of Millinocket, Maine.  Thank you!

Plein Air in Columbia Falls, Maine

I helped the town of Columbia Falls celebrate their 150th birthday today; painted in the misty rain from 7am to 2pm.  The painting was sold at a silent "wet auction" after the event.  It was fun, but I prefer sunshine!

This is Union Hall, which is where the event was coordinated and the auction took place.  Delightful old building!

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!
