"Chickadee and Appleblossoms"
These chickadees are frequent visitors to my bird feeders. The apple blossom studies and sketches are from a local orchard. I then brought all the elements together to create this decorative scene.

"Union Station, Portland, Maine, Remembered" circa 1936
A glowing night scene with businessmen arriving after a long day's work and shoppers returning from Boston. All are greeted to fresh falling snow at Portland's Union Station. Portlanders still fondly remember this landmark which was dismantled in 1963. Some research went into this scene. I used a 1920's Reo for the bus, an early 1930's Ford for the smaller taxi and I turned my Grandmother's 1936 Pontiac into the far left taxi. First in the Portland Series.

"Evening Chores" circa 1950
These barns are part of a long past dairy farm. It's on a road which loops off Route 2 and then back again a few miles along. It's almost as though when travelling this road, one returns to a simpler time when gasoline was 19 cents a gallon and coffee was 5 cents for a cup. I once had the 1950 Chevy pick-up that's in this picture. My daughter named it Reddy Jughead.

"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.

"Sailing Casco Bay"
The day is sunny with fast moving clouds. Sailors enjoy Maine's "High Summer" with the Portland Head Light as a back drop. I see many boats from Maine and New England sailing the warm waters of the Caribbean during the fall and winter months. Sixth in the Portland Series.
