Back from a week art retreat in Lubec, Maine where the Internet connection was not my friend due to a lot of fog and rain, Lubec is so far up North, you might as well being in another country  .  We did have a good week of painting and fun, the weather didn't stop us! This scene is in front of the rental house, a scene you never get tired of , love getting up in the morning, have our coffee and see the fisherman get ready  for their daily catch, also watch the fog rolling in and out so peaceful!  and I guess a week without the perfect connection was not that bad, except it kept me from blogging .

Bailey's lobster boat

While in Maine after a day of painting or touring I would work on a miniature with colored pencil, they were kind of fun to do. The colored pencil gives it a different feeling . This boat is always there after a day's lobster catch, I like to see  the fisherman's come back in their dory with lots of lobster boxes, they don't have time to talk much as they must  bring it quicky to the fish market.

Nothing is better than a Maine lobster!

this miniature is available, just email me for details .

I am back from my art retreat after two weeks in Maine and Canada, we had great weather the first week ,OK weather the second with some fog and rain ,but all in all it was nice. The only thing was not great was the Internet so I was not able to post as much as I wanted, this was the last painting I did the day before I left, this was our view from the window, miss it already but Tim was happy I was back home so did Clancy.

" Three boats in a row"

I have been painting a lot and having a blast with my friends, the weather has been great compare to the rest of the country, while I was painting this scene I had to put a fleece on to keep warm, ocean air is always tricky, warm one minute and cold the next. Also tricky is painting boats they are always moving.
