"Sailing Casco Bay"

"Sheltered Cove"

"Sheltered Cove"
I have seen many scenes such as this in the Carribbean as well as here in Maine, in this scene, on North Haven Island. The day is full of sun, wind and spray. Now, as the scene captures, for a quiet anchor to the end of the day.

"Flower Market at Monument Square"


This is one of the longest, continuous open air markets in New England. Originally a farmers market for the most part, now flowers are the main attraction that bring shoppers and those who just come to enjoy the display. Wednesday is the day to see the market. The studies and sketches I made were accomplished from across busy Congress Street so I could include the original buildings seen behind the market. Don't forget to bring popcorn or peanuts for the pigeons. Fourth in the Portland Series.

"Sail at Dawn"
We had anchored the evening before in a small cove on Vinalhaven Island. At dawn the next morning, as the sun touched the horizon, a gaff rigged cutter ghosts out on a slight breeze. A few years ago we, a group of artists and photographers, sailed along coastal Maine spending a good week gathering material for future paintings for the artists and photos for the photographers. I have gotten enough material from that week to paint for a lifetime. A number of those scenes are here in this collection.

"Winter Blue Jays"


"Winter Blue Jays"
I made the studies for this scene from sketches of the resident jays near my feeder. The red highbush cranberries turn a bright red by mid-winter and attract many birds. By late winter when the berries are more tender due to the many thawings and freezing, the birds find a colorful meal waiting to be readily eaten.
