Portland , Maine

This was a very hot and humid day show ,very well attended. A two hour drive from my house , 300 artists came from all over the Northeast . Four of us that I know from

Daily Painters were there , and it was very nice to meet them in person, Cooper Dragonette, Elizabeth Fraser, Varvara Harmon and myself.

Thank you Eileen for Helping me with the show.

On the way to Lubec My daily work these last few days has been preparing for the Portland show , The weather report is supposed to be hot and humid , I hope everyone decided to take a stroll downtown and see all the beautiful art work.
As you must know ,I never pass an old house with the right light on it , and this one was on my way to Lubec .

From the parlor window
I have painted this window a few times , I just love the look of these old windows , I have one in my house. I found this one in my travel to Eastport Maine , it was a house that needed a bit of love , many houses in the area need someone to bring them back to life , and many Baby Boomers are retiring and doing just that.
Edward Hopper liked these old windows also.
