Main Street, Owls Head

Owl’s Head has been my absolute favorite place to paint and teach for the last few years. Much of its charm comes from the working dock and fishing shacks along the water.

This was painted in early spring, when the willows were still feathery yellow. The air was crisp and cool, the shadows were long, and the sky was that ethereal blue that’s only found in Maine.

I painted it from the back of my pickup truck, which is my favorite place to work.

This painting can jump any way. Put it in a traditional plein air frame and it will enhance any rustic or classic room. Or go contemporary with a narrow black frame and white liner. Or even try grey-on-grey driftwood. It’s a painting that will go anywhere with distinction.
