View from the Pantry, 32x24, Work in Progress

I have taped off the window while I paint the outside. When visiting this Maine island house we often see windjammers anchored in the bay.

Happy Earth Day!
Double Prism in Round Pond, 24x36
This is one of those moments of ‘no one would believe it’ and do I really want to paint it? I did.

Sometimes revisiting a painting makes all the difference.

I added this William Blake quotation and suddenly Faith and Blake was complete.

God Appears & God is Light
To those poor Souls who dwell in Night
But does a Human Form Display
To those who Dwell in Realms of day
– William Blake, Auguries of Innocence

It was snowy when I started this painting and spring is coming as I finish it today.

Moving a mast is no small feat! It was a great mix of muscle and teamwork yesterday when the CCA, aka Caroline, Claire & Audrey- stopped by to help place the mast of Rave On. I’m back in the studio today with the large canvas of the Dark Harbor 20’s.

Meeting House Farm
This 1700’s Georgian structure and barns caught my attention in the late afternoon returning from another painting location.
Is it still a working farm? The cows would be in the barn this time of year but it was unusually quiet.
