Fishing in Spring Fog, Western Maine

One misty, cool spring day I was in my studio and I heard the faint sound of a small motorboat. It took some looking but finally I saw a couple of fisherman in a small motor boat passing by fairly close to shore. I don't know if they even saw me taking pictures, it was so foggy. But to me it was a scene that had to be painted. I'm sure they were absorbed in their own world out there. They blended in so well with the landscape - becoming one with nature. What more could one ask for?

Varnum Mountain in Spring - Western Maine

Another impressive mountain right near me. I watch it every day as I am coming and going from my road. Sometimes it seems large and comforting, sometimes it seems lower and dark. Long ago I climbed it but had to bushwack most of the way. I would like to go it again some time.
This particular spring day, it spoke to me. I sat in the back of my jeep and painted it while I watched smelters preparing to go out in the darkness to try their luck at the pond near the base of Varnum Mountain.

Red Camp - Western Maine Mountains and Lakes

Since this is a busy time of year at work and also in painting requested places, I'll take this time to list my older paintings which got missed along the way.
This little Red Camp is my morning view looking east but I mostly love the way it looks when the last light of day streams across the lawn and highlights the roof. It looks so nice sitting on the point across the lake but unfortunately is becoming run down from lack of use and attention.
With the assistance of binoculars for some of the details, I painted this one from my studio.

Day Lilies on Varnum Pond

Since I was going to be in a show held at Robin's Flower Pot, a lovely greenhouse business, I decided I should paint a few floral paintings. Here is one of those lovely orange Day Lilies that grow wild along the road or the shore of a body of water. Here in the serene mist of a Varnum Pond morning, they brightened the day.
