This 'secret view' in Freeport will be a subject for a painting project in the future with 2 good friends. I tried to capture how cold this past winter was here in Maine...brutal.
Here is another painting of the set up I did a while back with poinsettia leaves. This time in oil. Inspired by Qiang Huang's beautiful still lifes. I wish I could master his economy of brushstrokes!!
This scene was painted from a photo my husband took just across the street in the horse paddocks. It was very early and the morning mist was lifting from the previous night's dew. The big challenge was creating a mist that seemed transparent.
