Friendship, Maine, is a delightful town at the tip of the long finger of land that includes Cushing. There are scenic working waterfront areas and areas more residential, but it has been the inspiration for 3 paintings so far. It is one of those places that makes you want to slow down and just enjoy. I was scouting painting spots and I fell in love with this golden seaweed floating on the waters. I loved trying to push the colors to help you see that shimmering gold.

This is the first of the work from my recent trip to Maine. For this piece, I was in a great spot in Friendship, Maine. It's a beautiful little town at the tip of the landmass. I had brought my lunch and was searching for the right place to feed the soul as well as the body. I found it next to a boat ramp to the water, and I loved the way this angle on it let the water wander back in space. So I enjoyed my lunch and then did this painting. It is totally plein air, with not a touch-up in sight. The rocks in the foreground are loose and awesome. I put this image on the postcard for the show in Cushing, ME on August 10, 2012.
