Spring

'“Everything is flowing —going somewhere”

John Miur

This oil painting looks closer into the early spring runoff when Maine mosses are the only green.

“But mostly, I love the thought of the puddle gazing up at the sky, as if the rain is looking up, even as it has fallen.”

Becky Hemsley

Tufts of hardy green grass is seen in the painting of a spring puddle.

“Gurgling, gurgling ceaselessly, the whole year through; Surely it is alive! Meaning , saying something, of course, if one could only translate it.”

Walt Whitman

This 2:1 proportioned painting follows the currents of a brook into a pool.

“Natures first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold…”

Robert Frost

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

Like a wavy mirror this painting shows trees reflected near a lake's shore.

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.
