Maine Paintings
July 5, 2018
Back from my daughter’s wedding in Maine! One of the benefits of being a helpless male is that during the preparations for important events like this you are actually in the way and so are encouraged to take off and do your own thing. My wife insisted I go off and do these paintings! I know better than to ignore a direct order from my wife.
This is a painting of Ripley Creek, at a little bend in the road in Tenants Harbor.
It’s directly opposite my wife’s favorite view, which I painted in 1998:
The second, done the day after the wedding, is a view of the Camden Hills from Rte 133.
I love the Camden Hills and my original intention, when my wife suggested I bring my paints, was to redo one of the views I had painted more than 20 years ago, in 1996 and 1997.  I was very disappointed to find that the views I had painted years earlier were now marred by new construction and ticky tacky, but I did manage to find this almost untrammeled view.
Here are the 1996/1997 paintings:
