"Maine Coast" By Debra Tritt-Kreiger

"Maine Coast" 4"x6" Watercolor on 140lb Arches Paper

This is a small painting I did from a photo reference I took from our trip to Maine. I loved the way the mist softens the background. Gives the painting a little mystery.

Memories of Maine Series East Pond Shoreline WIP by Claire Beadon Carnell

'East Pond Shoreline'
Work In Progress
Oil 20 x 30

First, and most importantly - my prayers go out
to all of the people of Haiti, and all of their relatives
around the world waiting to hear if their family
members are safe.

I just started this painting today, and

it is perhaps the painting I wanted to do most
from my memories of Maine. It's a little area
that was located to the left of the dock by the
cabin we stayed in. The minute I saw the glow of
the rocks in the water and the rippling waves, I knew
I had to paint this.

My only wish is to get this
to look the same way it looks in my heart.

Memories of Maine Series Around the Bend

'Around the Bend'
Oil 6 x 8

Finished this little painting yesterday. This is the

left side of Miller's Island on East Pond. We used to

take the boat around here to get a better look at the loons

who seemed to like the little cove behind the trees.

We would cut the motor on the boat, and the loons

would let us get pretty close before performing their

interesting disappearing act of diving into the water

and resurfacing at least a hundred yards away...
