Hamilton Cove and Grand Manan

This is the other Hamilton Cove painting. I stayed pretty much in the same place as the other one but looked to my left where the boys were playing, throwing rocks, jumping back and forth across the stream. It is a rather small painting as it was getting rather damp and I was tired after standing at my easel all day long. I still had a bit of a hike to get out with all my gear and two wet paintings. Then the fog started coming in, it was beautiful. I love painting fog! But I couldn't stay. So I packed up and started to leave. A woman and her son, who was about 12 or 13, came along and offered to help carry my stuff out. He slung my packed easel over his shoulder, she took my paint box and I carried the wet paintings. It was a nice gesture that I gratefully accepted.

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.

Clouds Across the Bay (Looking across to Campobello)

It was fun parking along side the narrow road to Quoddy State Park, looking across the road where pink fireweed was prolific against the dreary fog and clouds beyond it. The scene looks across the bay to Campobello. To the left was Lubec, but that is a whole other painting. My friend did a little pastel from the back of the Jeep, while I sat on a rock painting in oil. We did not return during our week there, but it will definately be on my list for next year.
