I took many, many photos during our trip to Aroostook County on Labor Day weekend, and this is the first painting of a series that I call "Houses of Aroostook." This house sits against a backdrop of trees on the road that runs from Fort Kent to Allagash in extreme northern Maine. I loved its clean lines, and the way the sun was hitting it. I took photos from both directions, so be prepared to see another painting of this house at some point.

Here is one of the commissions I painted this summer. I finally dare to show it, as it was a wedding gift for a couple who were married in this church in September. The Phippsburg Congregational Church, situated on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, has a long and illustrious history. The linden tree in front of it is very old, and apparently quite famous. The painting was commissioned by a friend of the bride. I'm sure the wedding must have been beautiful, and I wish the newlyweds a long and happy life together!

Just finished this one, from a photo I took on a trip to New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful day, and the foliage was starting to turn. I love fall, but I haven't painted many fall scenes. It's a little intimidating, trying to capture all those amazing colors.
