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!

I took a trip to Vinalhaven, Maine in the fall after the tourists left. The place is totally empty off season. It is real Maine. Granite quarries made this island prosperous. Now only fishermen and their families live there. The town has many houses that are only used in the summer. The harbor is full of working boats all year.

A yellow house sits right on the edge of Carvers Harbor in Vinalhaven, ME. I painted this scene from the front seat of my car in a Nor'easter. The rain was blowing sideways. It was like having buckets of water thrown at you. The yellow looked cheerful in all the gray that filled the sky and water.
