Travels in Maine Part II

I stand corrected. This morning when we walked into town we came across this pumpkin which weighed in at 1,055 pounds!!! I don't know how they lift them to get them into place. Each of them has a card listing the grower, the artist(s) and the weight. This is the biggest one we found so far. They are on display in front of a lot of the businesses in town.


Today our travels took us up north about 40 minutes to Rockland. We weren't sure if it would be warm enough to sit outside to paint so we bundled up again. It was just tolerable!

Here are Mickey and Tina sitting on a bench. Mickey was already finished and Tina was putting the finishing touches on her painting. 


I faced a different direction from them looking at the rocks and trees.

Here is the painting with the view behind it.

By this time we were frozen and starving so we headed into town for lunch...yummy sea scallops at the Rockland Cafe. After lunch we headed slightly north to Camden which is again right along the water.
I painted the church with the steeple and some of the town buildings. We were sitting in the park so some of the park foliage is in the foreground.


Then we went shopping to warm up a bit.
