One of my favorite spots on Vinalhaven. There are a ton of tidal pools for the kids to check out and the dog loves to run up and down the beach at full speed.

Beach Plum Blooms

This is another scene from Lane's Island. This hillside of beach plum blooms was in full bloom and demanded to be painted.

Took a hike on Lane's Island, which is an island reserve connected to the island of Vinalhaven, Maine via a one lane bridge, and found this tree that deserved a portrait.

Exhibit is hung and ready to go....

I spent about an hour hanging about 2 dozen paintings at The Haven Streetside in downtown Vinalhaven, Maine. If you're in the neighborhood for the month of July please take a look.

Lupine Sea

8 x 24 inch, oil on canvas

Sold


I was fortunate enough to be in Maine during lupine season and was able to capture a photo of this sea of lupines. I've been meaning to try a painting and have finally done so. This will be on exhibit at The Haven on the island of Vinalhaven, Maine for the month of July.

Here's a quick painting of the last bend in the drive leading to our destination in Vinalhaven, Maine.

Art for Land's Sake

The 3 day event, Art for Land's Sake, at the New Era Gallery, kicks off today. There are around 40 participating artists, myself included, who have donated works to be auctioned to benefit the Vinalhaven Land Trust. This group's mission is to preserve the beautiful natural resources of this island community for the generations to come. Wishing them many generous bids for such a great cause!

My coffee view and my show!

I had to post my view of the layers of spruce and fog I experienced this morning while having my morning coffee....definitely destined for a painting.

Well, hung my show up yesterday and I'm really pleased with how it all looks together. It's now time to relax and start thinking about what sort of paintings to move onto next.

Nearly done...

Once complete, this painting will be heading off to a charity auction to benefit the Vinalhaven Land Trust. A group of about 40 artists are donating works to be auctioned off August 1 to assist in preserving the island's natural resources.

Booked a show!

Vinalhaven State Park Beach

18"x18"

Yes, I have painted this exact view before, but this one is much larger. I recently booked a show for this summer so I need to crank out some larger pieces to fill the wall space. I find it takes just about as long to do a larger work as it does a smaller so I might as well produce some larger paintings.

Eagle Sighting

4" x 4", oil on canvas

In Vinalhaven, Maine there's a stone eagle statue right downtown that was originally believed to be carved on the island at the turn of the century during the island's quarrying heyday, only problem is the stone isn't native to the island. Well, it's still pretty amazing....

I've oiled out my underpaintings and now have to wait for them to dry before I begin the glazing so I thought I'd work on a quick landscape, using a reference photo that I took last summer at the state park beach on Vinalhaven, Maine.

I'm back from Maine and I really need to get out of vacation mode and back into the swing of painting. Here's one of the small paintings that sold from my exhibit at The Haven in Vinalhaven, ME. It was a lot of fun to bring the family and hang out enjoying dinner with all of my paintings hanging up on the walls. Now it's time to regroup, focus and get painting.....soon, I swear.

Ok, I guess I was feeling inspired, so here's a second painting I completed today. This is a great view across the harbor in Vinalhaven, Maine towards Lane's Island and the original house owned by Captain Timothy Lane.
