The Damariscotta River in midcoast Maine is a lovely place to sail on a lazy summer day. I was painting in South Bristol on a warm afternoon when I spied this elegant boat sailing down the river to the ocean.

Full Sail
The Damariscotta River in midcoast Maine is a lovely place to sail on a lazy summer day. I was painting in South Bristol on a warm afternoon when I spied this elegant boat sailing down the river to the ocean.

Two Boats
Most of the docks are empty in early spring at York Harbor. A working lobster boat and a covered sail boat are the only boats at the dock.

The Harbor at Rockport Maine
As the weather warms up the sail boats are taken out of winter storage and returned to their summer moorings. New sails are installed and the boats are readied for the summer season.

Lobster Boats in Perkins Cove
Boats in the Cove, 6x8, watercolor
Perkins Cove is a narrow deep cove with boats moored in neat rows. It is a very orderly harbor and its busy year round. They have their own little ice breaker to keep the water open so the boats can go out on cold winter mornings.

Boat in the Channel: Cape Porpoise
In the Channel, 6x8 watercolor
The channel in the harbor at Cape Porpoise is so narrow the lobster boats have to moor in a line. Its only deep enough in one area to moor a boat at low tide.

In Cape Porpoise harbor there are all these floating docks with lobster traps stacked on them. Some of the docks have little houses on them.

Maine: By the Dock
In a Row, 6 x 8 Watercolor, 98 lb aquarelle
I am so lucky, I live in southern Maine on the seacoast. A favorite spot in my neighborhood is the cozy hamlet of Cape Porpoise. It's a small harbor that is active year round. In the summer all the cottages are full of happy vacationers. At this time of the year it's just me, the fishermen and their boats. I made this watercolor sketch looking down at the rowboats on the dock at Cape Porpoise, Maine.
