I was painting off the porch in Friendship and wanted to do another small painting before I closed down for the day. But I had been painting the harbor (to my right) all day and wanted something different. Lookng across the street, I saw a garden with irises I had not really noticed before, hidden as it was by trees and parking. I enjoyed painting this even though the rocks made me insane (only for a while!)

I loved the way this birdhouse sat among the rocks and spring flowers in Stonington, ME. Lupines, roses and phlox are abundant and just tumble down the hillside and over the rocks.

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.

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.

This was part of my view off the deck on the place where I stayed in Stonington. Fabulous. The waterway is called the Deer Isle Thoroughfare and it is just studded with island after island and a gazillion lobster boats. It was heaven being there! I loved the way the little yellow house kept watch.

This was the first painting that I made with my driver's wheel easel (touched up in the studio) It really worked. The day was grey, misty and not condusive to outside work. I am going to call this my "no excuses easel" The flowers were primarily dame's rocket, just pouring down the hill side in the millions, I am sure, with a few lupines. Stonington, Maine is gorgeous in the spring. Ledges of granite abound, with wildflowers everywhere, backed by a special fishing village. A painter's paradise.
