I love going up the coast of Maine.  I did this painting using some photos I took while visiting Bar Harbor Maine for reference.  On Mount Desert Island, I watched and took photos as a couple of lobstermen in Northeast Harbor, loaded lobster traps onto their boat and headed out of the Harbor.

This painting is sold to a collector in Maine.

An old rowboat tied to a tree by a river with threatening storm clouds in the background.

In this painting I tried to capture the ominous feel right before or immediately following a summer storm. There is something so beautifully thrilling, yet scary and forbidding, when the air is heavy, the wind picks up and it grows so dark during the day. The sun sometimes peeks through a crack in the dark clouds and casts a golden glow on everything it reaches. I just love summer storms! :)
