Follow me around through the photos on this post as I revel in my local nature.
Creative Arts Camp 2021 (Artist-in-Residency: the Place)
I”m just back from my artist-in-residency on Long Lake in Maine, at the week long extravaganza that is Creative Arts Camp, held at the church camp Newfound and Owatona in late August.
Two Plein Air Pastel Paintings of Katahdin Stream
I painted next to this rushing stream the whole day our daughter climbed the mountain…
Photos of Katahdin Stream
We were here so our daughter could climb Mount Katahdin. I’d paint the river, while she climbed the heights where this cold, clear water came from.
Katahdin Bark with Lichen and Moss (Large New Plein Air Pastel)
I was fascinated with the abstract quality of all this this texture on the tree bark, and I painted it larger than life to draw attention to what is too often overlooked or ignored.
Close up Details of Baxter State Park (Photos)
I’m a big one for mindfulness, and this whole trip was rife with it. The textures of the moss, lichen, bark, fungi, frogs, loons, and fluttering leaves all spoke to me.
Hike to Howe’s Falls (Photos)
The trail followed a stream up a valley between two peaks, past cascades and rounded pools, as it careened its way down to the lake.

Rain Followed by an Amazing Rainbow
This awesomely magnificent rainbow was a communication from God, a reassurance and a sacrament, portending only good.

Hendrick’s Head Beach at the Golden Hour (Photos)
The wonder of these images of this beach in Maine is natural light, color, texture and form.
