Painting in Steuben

You know I'm always interested to find new places to paint. Last weekend, I found Steuben! What a gorgeous place, downeast of Acadia. My student, Lucille, was the angel who offered her family camp as a venue for a student retreat (and got a painting in return). And what a retreat! There were seven of us. Friday was gorgeous. Saturday it rained, but we had plenty of room to paint inside at the windows, right on the ocean. Sunday morning the sun broke through.

Words are inadequate. Here are the pictures:

is already thinking about coffee!



Morning hike in Grand Manan.

Road signs for arriving students.

Psyched to paint!!

More autumn doings...

So, I proofed my 2015 calendar today at Walch Printing. Aaron, the printing liaison, was awesome, gallantly allowing me to mark each and every page for color correction. So happy to be getting my calendar printed locally this year! Those calendars should be out by the end of next week.

Meanwhile, speaking of calendars, please mark yours for the Lincoln Farm Artisans Sale! (You may need to zoom in to read the flyer - I did!) Lovely space, LOTS of art and gift ideas, and free homemade cookies - what's not to like?


Just a quick post today as I fly away - gathering and packing for my upcoming Student Painting Retreat in Steuben, Maine! Photos will be posted!
