Out on the point means one of two places to me... depending on who I am talking to. This is one of them. #artyear #maineart #painting #traditionalart #art

For the #silhouette theme in the #blueskyartshow, an old painting from the southernmost edge of the Outer Banks. #artyear #painting #art #eastcoastkin

I've often thought a good sunset needs clouds for drama, but once in a while you get one of these crystal clear sunsets. #sunset #artyear #painting #art

A strange little granite island in Blue Hill Bay. #maineart #painting #artyear #eastcoastkin

Its rare for me to do an evening painting of Sargeant Drive in #northeastharbor, but this is one. #maineart #mountdesertisland #painting #traditionalart #artyear

The looping wetlands of Bald Head Island. It took me a while to find a #painting that fit the #blueskyartshow theme of #arch. Maybe that's my next assignment? #artyear #art #eastcoastkin

I'm ready to ship a batch of new paintings to Swallowfield in Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island. If you're interested, they have a selection available online or in the store. These ones should be there next week. swallowfieldshop.com #art #maineart

For the #blueskyartshow entry on the subject of #thejourney, my sole Florida painting from my only trip there... of Bokeelia on Pine Island. This was after a thunderstorm, but a couple of weeks later it was clobbered by Hurricane Ian. #painting #traditionalart #florida #artyear #eastcoastkin

A good morning in one of my secret spots. I should know the name of that tiny island, but I forget. #maineart #artyear #painting #dawn #deerisle #eastcoastkin

I don't post much in the way of pictures of myself on social media, but this #portrait by @dorryspikes.bsky.social is terrific. The backlight shining through that ear deserves a chef's kiss. I forgot that she made me put on a french sailor's blouse for the session. Very Picasso-esque. #art

West Quoddy Head Light in the evening, considered the easternmost point in the continental US. They say Cadillac Mountain is the first place to get the sunrise, but this is the first place to get the sunset. #maineart #stencilart #painting #art #printmaking #artyear #eastcoastkin

This winter I won a competition for a design commemorating #Stonington Opera House Arts' anniversary celebration. They just posted first pics of the pre-release merch over on IG. I knew all that stencil art was going to come in handy. #artyear #deerisle #screenprinting #maineart

Small lobster boat at the mooring. Most of my works are #sunlight paintings... #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin #deerisle #maineart #dawn #painting #traditionalart #artyear

In the eight years I've known him, this man has taught me a lot about living. Too bad he hasn't taught me about portraiture. Looking at this makes my head hurt a bit. #stencilart #artyear #painting

One of the most remote parts of #Acadia National Parks is on Isle Au Haut. Perhaps less dramatic than the loop road, but it is comparatively untouched... and you don't have to worry about parking. #painting #maineart #artyear #art

A wee painting of a rowboat. #maineart #eggamogginreach #painting #art #traditionalart #artyear

Normally I only paint from reference photos I have taken. This is an exception. Years ago I found this mysterious photo loose among my father's boxes, and was struck by its Kodachrome intensity. I guess it's the deep blue of the water. #artyear #painting #art #maineart

From our kitchen #windows last year in #DeerIsle. At the start of the summer there is always someone living under the house. Foxes > mice. #blueskyartshow #fox #maine

This is a reference photo for a painting of the mismatched images from the wavy glass panes in our bay window in #Maine. The painting hasn't happened...yet. #blueskyartshow #windows #photography #eastcoastkin #artyear

A reminder that tonight, Friday, March 7, is the grand opening of the Resurrection Studios, 160 Broadway (the Moog Building), #Asheville from 5-10PM. I'll be there on the early side I expect. #art #helene #painting

My brother @dwightdee.bsky.social claimed my #papiermache moose head after I appropriated a chunk of his #Maine barn to store paintings. It finally is hanging on their elegant new porch, somewhat to my sis-in-law's consternation. #papiermache #moose #artproblems #artyear

There was a time I marveled at the geometry of roadways, and thought they'd be a wonderful subject for my paintings. Not too many buyers agreed. The customer is always right, sort of. #ashevilleartist #painting #art #artyear

This weekend, I took a long walk through #Asheville along the path of the flooding from #Helene. The #RiverArtsDistrict recovery has entered a new phase where many of the ruins have been cleared. So many vacant lots, and my memories of the buildings are already fading.
