Claire, this is beautiful. This is going to be a great series.
Claire, you have no idea!... Birch is our national tree and just as coming in Russia as palms at Florida... My grandparents login cabin was in the birch forest... What a pretty sight! I was in Main too few years ago at spring... Almost like Russia, even flowers the same. It was almost like trip back home.
Great painting!
Beautiful, just beautiful; more please. :)
I spent 6 years living in New Hampshire, and was able to travel to Maine a lot. I still miss our long weekends in Camden, next to Rockport. You have captured the essence of the Maine landscape- I am just waiting for a moose to enter the painting.I love the play of light in the woods off the white bark.
Nice painting Claire. We visited Maine and it is beautiful.
Thanks, everyone! I fell in love with Maine this past Summer when we were there. I hope to go back some day and hear the loons again.
This scene is so inviting. I imagine myself quietly walking through this area and exploring God's creations. Thank you!
Claire -- absolutely beautiful! No fair making me long for Spring this early in January!
