Winter Stream, the Maine View

Winter Stream, the Maine View

It is the middle of the winter. It’s cold at night, but the days are beautiful; deep blue skies, the crunch of the snow, crisp temperatures and the warming sun. Promise of spring in the air as the days begin to lengthen. I paint every day now. I have a few students who come weekly and I enjoy showing how I make the magic on canvas happen. Once summer returns, my paintings become lighter and more impressionistic as I spend more days outside and evenings become my time to retreat to the studio. Except, of course, on those days when I take canvas and paint to the lakes and beaches and paint plein aire. Every season has it’s beauty. See my etsy site for all the newest works I’ve done. I hope you like seeing them as much as I like creating them.
