Another painting of the Portland Observatory to share with you. Can you tell I love this landmark? I especially love it in the early morning or at sunset ... but really, there isn’t a time of day that the Observatory doesn’t call to me.

I had a lot of fun painting this little painting this morning. Getting lost in the late afternoon sun hitting my neighborhood landmark, the Portland Observatory, was the perfect way to start my day. I tried to not get lost in too much detail & to just have a good time with the brush strokes.

One of my favorite walks ... a walk around Mackworth Island. And I love how Fort Gorges is visible through the tree limbs.

Nothing like starting the day with a walk on the Eastern Prom at sunrise. I am a sucker for the dramatic sunrises with wild clouds & glowing skies, but there is something so serene and hopeful about a crystal clear morning sunrise, don’t you think?

I love this house on the Eastern Prom. It is so fun to look at, especially with the morning light hitting it! This is how it looked the morning after hurricane Irene ... so gorgeous & inviting. You’d never know that the rain was pounding & the winds were whistling like crazy the day before. I was at the Portland Sidewalk Sale on Saturday & I had a painting of just one of the upper corners of this house & to my surprise, a young woman came over, admired it & then pointed & said, “that is my bedroom.” So fun! Needless to say, she was meant to have that painting!
