On the Rocks with friends

This couple came out to sit on the rocks while we were painting last week in Maine. They told me their sweet  dog is 15 years old and they were enjoying some family time while Kelley MacDonald, Peggy Bruno and I painted quietly.

I wish these moments could be bottled- perhaps thats why I am so compelled to paint!

Lupines in Maine

This house was a short walk from the farmhouse where we stayed last week. The lupines were in full tilt! I set up my chair under a row of beach roses and the smell was intoxicating.

Its a bit unfinished , but not sure I plan to do much more. It was just fun.

I can't believe my Mom's been gone almost two years. This really doesn't look like her but it captures the essence of her beauty.This is a copy of a painting

 a local artist painted  for a play she was in called "Laura"

I have it in my house now. 

Gratitude # 130

Back from my trip- what a glorious week we had. Sadly one of the gang couldn't come and she was missed. I painted this pretty iris on the first morning.

We painted up a storm and the evenings were rich with food and spirits and conversation.

I love the smell of the balsam pillows. SO nostalgic!

I enjoyed doing these panoramic format pieces in watercolor. this is about 5"x16"

Maine!

My trip to maine with 5 other artists is finally here. We stay at a big ol' farmhouse in New Harbor, which is up near Wiscasset.
I'm bringing watercolors and acrylics and lots of beads to play with!And books and food and my pillow.  I plan to resume my gratitudes as well.
This past month has been so busy I might just do nothing.

These are watercolor paintings I did the first year I was there in 2006.
