Happy Holidays

A very happy and healthy holiday to all of you.  My thanks for all your support and friendship.  Blessings, Mary

Maine Mist

An early morning moment on a lake, in Maine, in June.  Sometimes it doesn't get any better.

Storrowtown Door

This may not be familiar to all of us but to one who was raised in a 200 year old house and now lives in a house built 200 plus years ago, this is a comfortable and familiar door handle.  One on a closet or a bedroom.  Well worn and aged.  A reminder of craftsmanship out of necessity; left to remind us.



The Birch Across the Road

Whenever I look out my front door I see this little birch clump viing for space among the great pines and hemlocks surrounding it, but season after season it puts on a colorful show that outshines their height and sturdiness.Goes to show that it isn't always size that matters.

Maine Shore

The waves were powerful and high with green light dancing through them; white spray sailing over the rocks.  Not a great day for swimming but wonderful for painting.  The lobster boats were out collecting from their traps.  Too rough for me out there.

Boathouse

It was an old boathouse but they built and repaired very nice boats.  A couple of us found some shade and painted and the rest found lobster rolls.  I think we all had a great time!

Pemaquid Lighthouse, Maine

Just spent a week with my friends from the Hilltown Plein Aire Painters in Maine.  So, of course, a lighthouse.  We spend parts of 2 days here at Pemaquid Point and loved the site, the waves, and our new friend, artist Bobbie Applegate.  Thanks so much.

Remembering last Summer

It was in the fall at Little Compton RI. The kids were drawn to the cold water like flys to light. Everytime they got near it they came back wet. What great memories!

Poppy

Sometimes painting a flower in winter helps me remember that hot day when a poppy unfolds its paper thin petals, one by one, and justs basks in the hot sun.
