Just Us Chickens

These chickens were having a good time running around in the warm sunshine finding bugs in the grass. Ah, there is nothing like the good life on a farm in Vermont.

Waiting

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.

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
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
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
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.

Free Happy Chickens
These chickens were very happy birds. They ran up to their owner when she brought us out to see them like little puppy dogs, not chickens ! They then proceeded to run all over the lawn searching out bugs and other little things to eat. They never stopped moving. It was a challenge to paint them as they ran around!

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.
