Back in June, I had the delight of discovering that the view I was painting at Bubble Pond was being graced by a sun halo. I was already really excited to be working large, and trying a new technique for using a lot more paint than I typically do (mixing paint in yogurt cups!) which felt like the equivalent of artistic skydiving: terrifying and exhilarating! I was having a blast, painting big, chatting a little with folks walking by, just loving the freedom of movement and expression a huge canvas was bringing, and someone said, “hey, have you seen the sun halo?” I hadn’t seen it being tucked behind the trees, so I walked to the shore and was struck by awe. The sun was giving what I was already feeling that morning: a supernatural glow. So yes, of course, it went in the painting!

It’s been a wonderful whirlwind of a summer, full of painting, singing, hiking and swimming… and very little time for posting here, so I figure it’s time to send an update. I have a show coming up at Artemis in Northeast Harbor, opening this Thursday Sept 10, 5-7. The work will be up for two weeks. Hope to see you there!

This sweet little garden is scrappy but joyful. Built with plants given lovingly by friends and neighbors, including sage and chives and one dandelion I didn’t want to pull. It has taken a lot for me to start my life over after living on an island for 15 years, a lifetime in many ways, and it is in deep gratitude that I watch my new life seed and grow, and delight in what pops up by way of receiving and welcoming what comes.

My friend Blue Caroline Blue makes garden magic and I lucked out in getting to spend a May afternoon playing with paint in one of the flourishing spaces she tends to. ✨💙✨

Another early spring painting, when water and trees shimmer with the coming light.

I enjoyed sitting in this well loved park in South Portland, Maine in April. People and their dogs out walking, kids fishing, and the sun beginning to wake everyone and everything.

I set out early one Saturday in May and came across the loveliest of little seaside gardens in Seal Harbor. Nestled on a hillside overlooking Seal Harbor beach, I found stone benches and flowers with trees and ocean and islands. A morning painter’s dream. And it was warm enough to be barefoot. Beatrix Ferrand, American landscape gardener and landscape architect, designed this little park (among many others across Mount Desert Island and beyond). I wonder if she knew how much joy and inspiration her vision would bring for so many for years and years to come.

Sometimes after a winter day on Little Cranberry Island, you walk down to the boat, and the sky is a flaming fanfare. But just sometimes.
