The reality is, winter is still very much with us in New England and snow is abundant! This beautiful old house in Harpswell, Maine was graced with a brand new shingled roof just before winter. After a few months, the cedar shingles, then a bright burnt orange, have already weathered into a beautiful silver gray.

Spring came in a couple of weeks early this year in New England. Forsythia is usually the first burst of color announcing spring. I saw this cluster while taking a walk close to my house and needed to capture this lovely spring day.

"Quiet September in Vinalhaven"

In September, most of the tourists are gone from Vinalhaven and the fishermen are still out to sea. The town is delightfully quiet and there are only a few lobster traps in sight. A great time of year to walk around on the waterfront and enjoy the scenery.

Vinalhaven is a beautiful working fishing town located in the Fox Islands in Knox County, Maine. It is well known to the artist community as inspiration abounds all over the island. I particularly like the old fishing storage buildings in town. These buildings are a common landscape along the coast of Maine. This painting is the first in a series of Maine fishing buildings.

Another winter scene from New England before I switch back to painting spring and warmer weather subjects. The tail end of winter always seems to last forever and I can't wait for the first colorful signs and inspiration of the new season.

The days are getting longer but winter is still here in New England. Scenes like this one are an inspiration this time of year. I did this scene in a painting and blogging class taught by Bobbi Heath at River Arts , the Art Center in Damariscotta, Maine. The focus was on creating a quick, effective composition for daily paintings.

Look for future offerings of Bobbi's class, which was excellent.

I am fortunate to call the coast of Maine my second home and one of my favorite places to live. In the summer, you can enjoy fiery and glorious sunsets like this one at Potts Point Harbor in South Harpswell.
