Hamilton Beach, Maine



Hamilton Cove is a lovely cove, just a short hike off the highway near Cutler. There are nature trails that lead along the coastline to the east. But I was content to plunk myself there, backing up to the bank in the back to get a bit of shade from the burning sun. It was a lovely day but the weather on the sea was unsettled. I watched the fog gradually move across the island in the distance, managing to capture about half of it before it was totally lost in fog. A couple of pre-teen boys were playing near the brook around the beach to my left. Although I could hear their voices, and except for a word or two here and there, I could not make out what they were saying. I was fascinated that two young boys could spend all day just throwing rocks into a brook. What fabulous summer memories they will have of Hamilton Cove in their adult years!

Quoddy Lighthouse Beach and Grand Manan


This was painted on location on the east side of Quoddy Lighthouse. There is a nice little beach way down there and so totally inaccessible. If one were to find their way there, they would have to leave before high tide! It is a lovely view, looking towards Campobello.
If you are interested in purchasing thie 8X8 oil on panel, framed, please contact me.  SOLD.
