Stroudwater, Portland, Maine

Love this place in the Stroudwater section of Portland, love to paint here and to see the light at different times of day here.  Congress Street is so busy here though, with tens of thousands of cars and trucks zooming by here all day and night.  Very hard to enjoy the beauty of the light and tides.

Walked along the Harborwalk in Portland today and noticed some construction on one of my favorite buildings.  Here's the photo along with my painting of the same spot done in 2007.

2 Walks, Portland and Damariscotta, Maine

 Took 2 walks on this rainy day, in Portland to see the MECA Auction preview and to River Arts in Damariscotta.  Love walking in the misty rain in the city.  Quote for the day from a young man in Portland "Do you know that if you change the lenses on a handicam you can see into almost anything including the mail?"

In Damariscotta today, took a side trip to Pemaquid Point and Pemaquid Beach.  Had the beach all to myself!  Pretty cold in the 40's with a stiff wind.  Damariscotta is the perfect town, Reny's, River Grill, little shops, drug store, art galleries, great views, no big box...
