My Summer has been busy with family and a little painting done, but touring the beautiful State of Maine. Quill Hill is a beautiful place outside Rangeley  in the Western Mountains where you are able to drive to the top and see miles and miles away with all the different ranges of mountains of the area , it is worth the trip! this scene was coming down the hill with wild flowers everywhere .
This painting is available comes with a matt

The Maine rose cottage

The Maine rose cottage Sold
 8x10Watercolor

I was looking through some of my past summers watercolor, and I remember painting this one , it had to be the cutest cottage on that street on the edge of the ocean , I am glad I did when I saw it, because the year after it had lost it's appeal, probably a different owner who didn't care about flowers. So when you see something that really speak to you ,paint it!
 This little watercolor would make a great present to someone who loves Maine !

Mother's day in a couple days!  This painting always reminded me of the old days when all the moms use to hang all the laundry out , it would come back in the house smelling so nice and fresh!  I still hang on a nice day, I painted this a few years back while I was painting with some friends and one artist  did her laundry ,I went out there with my easel in the yard to capture this scene. This painting is available. It would make a great decor for a Laundry room.
