Paintings of Monhegan Island, Maine

I recently had the chance to paint with a group of artist friends on historic Monhegan Island, Maine. Artists have been travelling to the island for decades to paint the rocks, coast, forests and maritime scenery. This was a wonderful opportunity to experience a landscape so unlike where I live now, and of course to share ideas and learn from other plein air painters.  Here are two paintings of mine:

"Morning at Gull Cove", Oil, 12" x 16"












"Surf at Lobster Cove", Oil, 12" x 16"












And here's a photo of me with some wonderful artist friends...
