Togue Pond, Baxter State Park, Maine, May 4, 2013

Caught this scene at Togue Pond this morning, hundreds of fish spawning near the shore. Loons and quiet, snow still on Mt. Katahdin. Paradise!

Daicey Pond, Baxter State Park, Maine October 5

Yesterday was a beautiful day at Baxter State Park and painting on the Golden Road. Peak color south of Mt Katahdin this weekend.

Windy Pitch, Katahdin Lake Wilderness Camps, Maine

 This is the cabin that I stayed in this year at Katahdin Lake, missing my time at the Lake and the North Woods.

October 2 to October 8, 2011

 Pics from my eight day painting trip to the Katahdin area and Katahdin Lake Wilderness Camps.  This year was a tough weather trip, lots of rain and wind and cold.

Oct 2, 2011, Sandy Stream Pond in the rain, a nice quiet hike at sundown, no moose to be seen.

 Oct 3, 2011 on the Golden Road, every time that I got out of the car the rain started.

 Oct 5, 2011 Katahdin Lake just after flying in, had a brief window at sunrise where the wind quieted enough to fly in after a day delay due to heavy low clouds and high winds and rain.

 Oct 6, 2011 sunrise on Katahdin Lake.

 Oct 7, 2011 alpine glow sunrise on Katahdin Lake.

Oct 8, 2011 view from the plane, thank you Katahdin Air Service for another safe trip.  The weather cleared out on my last day at Katahdin Lake, enjoyed a beautiful morning painting and saying goodbye's to new and old friends from my stay.  A beautiful view of Mt Katahdin and environs.

Abol Bridge, Maine

Worked all day painting in North Light Gallery for ALL ABOUT COLOR reception, got out for a drive after dinner at Pelletier's.  This is just after sunset from Abol Bridge, lots of campfires and fishing going on...the top of Katahdin in the clouds.

Golden Road, Mt. Katahdin, Maine

Another shot of the mountain from yesterday's trip, still winter up in Maine!  The mountain looks so close when it is brilliant white and she compels one to get closer, a magical and mysterious place.  I love the glimpses that appear as I drive closer and closer...took my breath away yesterday.

Mt. Katahdin, Abol Bridge, Maine

Spent some time staring at the mountain today.  It was 37 degrees with the wind so strong that I could barely stand.  No painting today but lots of good photos for future paintings.  Picked up twenty plus Katahdin area paintings from the gallery for an impromptu show at EMS in Portland this weekend.
