Thinking of Summer made me paint this scene, I was looking through some quick sketches I had done on location, I knew I wanted to paint them again and this one was one of them, I love this small cove in Maine where my friends and I go every summer. Sure wish Spring was here for tomorrow but no such luck we must of got 14 inches of snow today and still  coming down ! today was my youngest son's birthday and thirty eight years ago he was born during a snow storm in Germany and I remember to be it as bad as today!
