painting nature in Maine
If you are nearsighted like me and tramp slowly thru Maine, my paintings might resonate with your experience . . .

Maine has a zillion micro-seasons and after a hard winter, every day of an endless spring brings a new observation. These are some of mine. I paint and observe closely These are nearscapes rather than grand scenic views. As always, I am mesmerized by water in all its permutations.
Visit this website often as I will post my Summer series which has more paintings of sea, and shore.
Pick a season to see: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
I recognize that my paintings are of indigenous land. In addition to the Abenaki, the broader place we now call Maine is home to the sovereign people of the Wabanaki Confederacy: the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Mi’kmaq peoples. Maine exists on their unceded beautiful homelands.
