The show was nice, the whether was a beautiful September day , but the costumers did not want to buy ,I think Wall Street was on their mind! so all my beautiful paintings went back in their bags ,back in the car to a ride home and back to the studio, I really wanted them to find a nice home. Oh well! that is the life of an artist ,

Maine sky over the Western mountains

Today I was thinking about our place in Maine , and wanted to be there , but we are waiting for the snow to be all gone maybe another few weeks . We usually go there by this time but we had an unusual winter this year. so I decided to take out some of my photos of this beautiful Maine sky and painted this 5x7 oil , I am also baby sitting my son's dog a Burmese mountain dog , him and Clancy played all day today right by my easel , a bit distracting , but I managed to pull it off
