Pink Sky stream I love you. A day celebrating love. Love of all things-consideration, compassion, respect, sharing, giving, exchanging, kindness. A pink sky and a pink stream stained with love. From me to you. #watercolor #downeast #maine#allisfuoflove #loveheals #loverules #iloveyou

Forest vibes and dreams of spring. greens. moss. roots. grounding. the smell of moist earth. balsam. Still far away from February in Maine. But it is coming. The sun tells me so. #EastCoastKin #forest #animist #natureheals #downeast #Maine

Boot Head You hike thru a mile of woods-go uphill and the path opens to this exquisite cliffside ocean view. One of my top 3 spots in downeast Maine. Just Epic. #oilpainting #downeast #boldcoast #blueskyartist #maine

Pine heat -- Dreams of hot summer when everything is sizzling and there is heat in the pines, while cold winter is chilling and there is frost in the spine #watercolor #blueskyartist #downeast #mainer #colordrunk

The temps rose!! and I went out with dogger to suck up some much needed sun. Clear skies and a slow moving tide, ice shelves dropping into the water and Hello Bright Sun, where have u been? #downeast #mainer #icejam

Anxiously awaiting Coltsfoot! One of the earliest spring plants. C'mon spring! Even tho it is February and I am under a foot of ice and snow in Maine😝 #oilpainting #spring #downeast #mainer #botanical #blueskyartist

East end There is this rocky beach down the road from me...I frequently go here and get my ocean fix. #oilpainting #boldcoast #downeast #mainer

I am noticing my work looks like no one elses. Always thought this was a bummer. Now I am revisiting older works and feeling differently.... I am me...! #oilpainting #landscape #blueskyartist #islandlife #lakeside

Little Bay There is this little bay on #SacandagaLake that we used to hang out in. It was away from the main lake, and had a nice private beach for us to sneak away for an #Adirondack dip. This screams SUMMER to me-now in the dead of winter #oilpainting #landscapepainting #whitepine #colorsdrunk

Triangle rock The view from the boat...My husband fishes and I watercolor or sketch with crayons. This is an oil painting referencing a crayon drawing. Geometric!! #oilpainting #blueskyartist #landscapepainting #lakeside #abstraction #triangle

Winter river Sharing some older work...a vibrant winter painting of a favorite river friend of mine #animist #oilpainting #sacandagariver #landscapepainting #blueskyartist #colorlover

Blue Sand Lake Peering across the shores in that blue shadow time of day #oilpainting #adirondack #lakeview #blueskyartist

In awe the way this embroidery emerges from the bark, like the tree is sharing its heartbeat. The hand shadow is just the right touch. Diana Yevtukh @diana.yevtukh wow us! “Heartwood” #beautifulbizarre #embroideryart #natureinspired #textileinstallation #surrealism

Snow Days #oilpainting #art

Bold Coast of Maine. Finally finishing up this beast of a painting. Patience was required for all the details-and I am in low supply! 😝Glad to finally be done with this one. For sale-DM me💪 #oilpainting #contemporarylandscape #blueskyartist #boldcoast #maine

Spirit animals heeding the call ...in progress. I have no idea what I am doing-no end game. Painting with intuition-not technique. no rules. still a #wip #oilpainting #rogueartist #breakingtrail

#wip world tree. seeress. the sea. the sky. bird spirits. animal spirits. called to action. Not sure where I am headed in this work but I am also called to action! #oilpainting #imagination #free

downeast vibes

beauty over brawn.

Yggdrasil...world tree. Painting from my mind. Day dreaming in Nordic myth. #wip #yggdrasil #worldtree #nordicmythology #oilpainting

I am noticing that the more our country/world spins out of control, the more control I have over myself.

Breaking trail in a huge way. Been painting the same way for 40 years. It is about time I completely change this all around. No sketch. No photo. No landscape before me. What is inside me is coming out instead of outside coming in. Here we go. 💪💙 #wip #oilpainting #worldtree

Worked up a Full Moon Leo lion today in watercolor. There's a whole lot of yellow going on! Cadmium lemon, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium medium, Burnt Sienna #fullmoon #witchsky #leomoon #watercolor

Painting the sea...and sky.... this epic coast never looks the same from day to day Love the treatment in the sky here..!

Ride Home. Snow is magical-Skadi is in the house. #downeast #Skadi #nordic #snowscene

Out and about after the snow last night. 3 deer also checking the snowy scene #downeast #EastCoastKin #deer #snowsky

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

I am loving these landscaoes by Mark Brennan. Every single one is a gem.

At this time, I do not think my painting should be realism. I have a camera on my phone for that and so does half the world. Painting is about paint. My goal is to see something but let the paint be the thing that rules-not reality. Its a fight between brain and hand.

Working from memory. Letting the paint dictate the next moves. So much harder than I thought! Now to move on -this study is done for now. #downeast #boldcoast #oilpainting #movingon

Loving this winter mood by Holgate. Inspire me...!!! Group of Seven... thank u! #groupofseven #inspo

Painting. Showing up. Even tho I am not loving this piece. Trying to establish a practice. I think they call it work. #oilpainting #studiotime #downeast

Waiting for the breakthrough. Quitting things that have been engrained in me for 15-50 years. I feel lost, empty and angry all at once. When is the sun going to break thru my clouds? #addiction #socialmedia #anxiety

Feeling proud and sad at the same time. Just deleted my FB and IG accounts. And then Whatsapp. Good Riddance Meta. What comes next?? I do not know but I am ready for it. #instagramexit #meta #facebookpurge

The downeast scene...during a January thaw... A great painting session in January! #downeast #roquebluffs #oilpainting #pleinair

when its 45 degrees in January-I am called to be outside. Today-a plein air session right on the rocks...with ocean waves crashing beside me. #downeast #oilpainter #pleinair #landscapepainting

The tides downeast Maine are legendary. The ice builds-the tides lift it up and take it out to sea... #downeast #Machias #tidalriver #lowtide #iceicebaby

c-c-cold out there! Ice in the river at high king tide. 4 degrees F. #downeast #maine #iceflow #kingtide

finally sat down to paint winter with oil. a quick study looking out my window. i am working on finding a new way to work with less control-so i purposely used big brushes-no terps-and one super lame brush that i had forgotten to clean! #pleinair #oilpainting #downeast #blueskyartist
