I recently did a small painting from a photo I took this past summer on the top of Cadillac Mountain in Maine. I am working out ideas to eventually do a much larger painting of this scene.

 This past August, I decided to spend some time in Maine and I went up on Cadillac Mountain to do some plein air painting. I decided to use watercolors since they are one of the most portable mediums to work with since they are light to carry. This painting is the result of my effort.

 I had recently returned from a trip to Italy and my mind was filled with many images of the olive groves in Tuscany.  When this happens to me,  I fall asleep at night and dream that I am painting in full color. This painting was done as a result of one of my dreams.

 My husband and I wanted to give a special gift to a family expecting a new baby. I did not want to give the usual baby clothes, toys etc.. So, I came up with the idea for a still life for the baby's room. This is the result of my work.
