"Stonington Wildflowers"

Stonington Wildflowers
8x10
Oil on Panel
SOLD

There is nothing like June in Maine, and Stonington which is built on granite ledges is no exception. This field of wildflowers just tumbled down the hill. Primary flowers were Dames Rocket, Lupines and buttercups, a beautiful combination in such glorious excess. I loved the path that led through the flowers.

"Just Past the Birch" (framed)

Just Past the Birch
12x12
Gold Frame
Oil on Panel
$330

This is the view from my balcony in Stonington but we are looking the other way from the previous paintings. I loved the way the birch, with it's wonderful energy, seemed to guard the entrance of a path that leads out eye to the harbor.

"Friendship Gold" (framed)

Friendship Gold
8x10
Gold Frame
oil on panel
$225

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.

"Art in the Barn Barn" (Framed)

Art in the Barn Barn
8x8
oil on panel
Natural Maple Contemporary Frame
$190

This time is perfect for this painting! Tomorrow, my friend Barb Harrold and I are traveling to Cushing, Maine (near Rockland, ME) for "Art in the Barn" a two person show in this lovely barn pictured in the painting. It is on the grounds of the Cushing Historical Society. Cushing is where the whole pink chair project started, just last year, in June, when I stayed there to paint. We will have a reception on Friday, and be open all day Saturday and Sunday. I will be showing my whole pink chair suite, along with all of the new paintings that I did this June in Maine. Barb will be showing her soft sculpture creatures, puppets, and hats, and she will have her sewing machine set up so she can demonstrate her techniques. I put 6000 steps on my pedometer just packing my car.

This is the second painting this gazebo has shown up in. It sits in a garden by the sea and provides a lovely resting place for many tourists and locals. The same gazebo, in Rockland, Maine, was in my painting "Garden by the Sea" from the Pink Chair Project.
