Waiting


Click here to bid.


In Cape Porpoise, Maine the harbor is full of working boats. Everyone rows out to their lobster boats from the town dock where they sit tied to the float.

Evening at Friendship Harbor

By sunset many of the lobstermen were back home after a long day of hauling traps. This one skiff waited for it owner as the last bit of daylight lingered.

Sky Water Dance

Rolling green meadows rise up to meet thick stands of dark pine trees at Parsons Beach. At high tide the sunlit western sky is reflected in the water.

Salt Hay Sunset

The Mousam River in Kennebunk, Maine flows through the marshes at Parsons Beach on its way to the sea.  High tide at sunset is a sight to behold.

Froth and Foam

The Marginal Way in Ogunquit, Maine is a perfect place to watch waves.  The open ocean crashes on this rocky coastline that is a favorite of many visitors to our state.

Acadia~ Dusk on Frenchman Bay


Click here to bid.

The water of Frenchman Bay is often like a giant mirror reflecting the colors of the sky above it. I always love visiting and painting in Acadia National Park.

Marsh Mood

The marshes are one of my favorite places. Wild life is plentiful and in every season and type of weather the colors are rich and beautiful.

Wind Over the Marsh



The clouds and birds were flying around the day I painted at Brave Boat Harbor. From where I stood I could see a bit of the ocean beyond the acres of marsh grasses.

Acadia ~ Sails on Frenchman Bay



 The view from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is sublime. Frenchman Bay is huge and gorgeous as it stretches across the horizon.

Maine Meadow

Click here to bid.

The meadows at Laudholm Farm are a favorite place of mine.  You can walk through woods and high rolling meadows for hours. There is an old road through an apple orchard that leads to the beach.

Marsh Gold

After the sun sets the marsh glows in a golden light. At Parsons Beach the tide was high and the pines were reflected in the golden water.

Mist and Surf

Click here to bid.

It was a misty lavender tinted day when I painted this picture in Friendship, Maine.  The wind was blowing hard pushing the clouds out to sea. It was choppy in the harbor and waves were crashing on the rocks.

White Pines

Click here to bid.

White Pines grow in the forests on the edge of the marshes. Years of steady winds off the ocean make most of them lean in the same direction.

Marsh Reflections

Miles of marshes stretch up the southern coast of Maine. All types of animals live here and thousands of birds use this region as a rest stop on their annual north and south migrations.

Beach Roses and Salt Hay

The west side of Drakes Island is edged with acres of marshes. Here the land is protected from the wind off the Atlantic. Its quiet here and the sound of the surf is distant. Here beach roses, meadows and small pines flourish.

Summer Meadow

Laudholm Farm is a lovely old home on acres of meadows and forest on the southern coast of Maine.  The house and barns sit high on a hill overlooking the marshes and the sea. I paint here in every season of the year.

Clouds over the Marsh

Click here to bid.

The clouds were clearing over the marshes after a summer storm blew through. I was lucky enough to be in Ogunquit at sunset just in time to catch the fast moving light and colors as the clouds raced out to sea.

Nor'easter Carvers Harbor

Click here to buy.


I sat in my car at the public wharf while a Nor'easter hit Vinalhaven, Maine.  All the boats were at their moorings in Carver's Harbor. No one was going out in this weather. The ferry service to the mainland was canceled. I was happy as a clam painting in my sketchbook in the dry front seat of my car. The colors of the islands, sky and water were subtle and beautiful!

Foggy Day Kittery Point Harbor

Kittery Point Harbor is in a great spot. Its on the southern border of Maine, near the mouth of the Piscatisqua River across from the small island of New Castle, NH. The harbor is located in the curve of the land so all the big ship traffic is way out in the river a distance away.

Azalea Buds

Click here to buy.


The Azalea buds are getting ready to open! The bush is on the east side of the house.  It catches those chilly breezes off the ocean so they need a few really warm days to encourage them to flower.
