Awaiting the Snow. Saint Michael's with some liberties
Same sunset with friends, moments earlier. Such a different array of color and light
Union River • Oil on Canvas • 18x24 • 2023 • Along the Algeron Coast in Mount Desert Island is where the locals go to see the sunsets and the lobsterman come in from their work each day. The sky changes by the second and the light is so fleeting. I

Nocturn Marsh • Oil on Canvas • 9x12 • 2023 • Blackwater Refuge is not only a waterfowl refuge, but a place of calm. I'd advise bug spray, but it's a must see on the Eastern Shore.
