          On the way back to Boston from rural Maine, we stopped in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, a place I’ve been several times and love. On my way to walk in the woods and explore a stream and waterfall, I had a view of Mount Washington in the distance. Even from this far away, it looks impressive.  On a previous trip, we thought it would be fun to drive to the top of Mount Washington, something I don’t want to repeat anytime soon. For the passenger, the drive up gives you some magnificent views….of how far you will fall if the driver makes a small mistake and drives just a tiny bit too far to the right. It’s a sheer and very scary drop off the right side of the road as you drive up to the top and I recall having a death grip on the arm rest as if that would save me if we went off the road. 

         On that cheery note, have a Happy Weekend!

             This is another painting I did while in Maine recently. I was in my version of heaven, painting on the coast, in sunny, cool weather, with gorgeous clouds overhead and sailboats gliding by.

            Happy Weekend!

            I found these beautiful plums in the grocery store some weeks ago and painted them from life. I noticed, like many things – and maybe like some people, they appeared perfect at first glance. It was only as I studied them and got to know them that I realized they had slight imperfections but were still beautiful. I think most of us are like that. Maybe we work hard to appear perfect, to hide our imperfections, because we’ve been taught they are signs of weakness. What I find interesting is that some of the most courageous people I know, are those who share their vulnerabilities. These are my brave and beautiful friends.

            Happy Weekend!

Racing the Rain

             While in Maine recently, I was lucky to be treated to the sight of many clouds racing across the sky, with lots of sailboats trying to beat the rain clouds. I love painting skies outside, especially in cool, sunny weather but it was a challenge to capture these fast-moving clouds before they exited stage right.

            Happy Weekend!
