From the Patio

 I recently took a short trip with my sister, Michelle, up to Maine to visit our other sister, Chris, and her family. We spent a lot of time catching up with each other, but I did head outside the first day and paint from the patio. Across the street there was this wonderful very tall pine tree. This is a very small painting...maybe the size of a bookmark, but perfect to show the height of the tree.


There is a birch tree in my sister's yard that she planted years ago in memory of my dad. It is now huge and provides lots of shade to the yard and the house. It is here against their barn.


In the morning I took a walk for exercise in Damariscott. Here are some of the flowers I saw on my walk into town.

Front Garden

As I was driving through Sayville yesterday this cluster of irises and the birch tree caught my eye. Showers were forecast for the day so I sat in my car to sketch this.
