this is another of my plein air studies that I did at New Harbour this August. I had an opportunity to really study boats. We don't have that many chances to do that here in East Texas.

I took a photo of this fellow as he was going full speed. Painted him with large splashy strokes of thick oil paint.

finished this one last week and it is now in its new home! I love doing bluebonnets.

I never thought I would have the opportunity to paint on location in Maine. So many artists have spoken of the beautiful light there. Well it is all beautiful. We were so fortunate to find such beautiful 70 degree weather all the time we were there in New Harbor, Maine, staying at the amazing property " The Moorings". It was sweltering here in Nacogdoches, tx in the 90s at the time. The crowds of visitors to Maine seemed to all be gone and the locals were beginning to board the windows up and get ready for winter. The flowers were putting on there final blaze of glory before the cold came in. I did this 11x14

Lobster Shack

While in New Harbor we often ate at Shaws fish and Lobster Wharf. Soooooo good.

Right across from it was a lobster shack that got some of the boats coming in with their crates of lobsters. We got up early one morning determined to paint on the restaurants wharf before anyone was out and about. Instead it was crowded with a boat full of people leaving for a day trip out to Monhegan Island which seems to just loom out on the horizon. (We are going there next year) We were able to do a couple of quick sketches any way and were ready for the afternoon location

While we were staying at New Harbor, a must see, at the Moorings we painted each morning and evening. We ventured over to the harbor at Round Pond and set up our easels at the Lobstermens coop and I painted this little 9x12. Lunch was fresh lobster (9.95 each) and corn on the cob. It was cooler and the wind was blustery.

What a fine day!
