Portland Trails, Fore River, Portland, Maine

Took a walk and did some exploring on Portland Trails in Stroudwater today, bluest sky, not a cloud...

Stroudwater, Portland, Maine

Early morning at Stroudwater, love the ever changing light and water here.  Cold 17 degrees.

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.

Went to paint at Stroudwater this morning, was beautifully foggy at low tide.  By the time I was ready to paint, the color came into the world.  Even with the morning rush hour traffic going by it was very peaceful.
