2015 Summer trip to Maine!

We just returned last week from another great summer trip to Maine.  This year we spent three weeks relaxing and doing a little painting.  I didn’t paint as many days this year as I did last year, or previous years….more hanging out, and enjoying the cool weather.  We stayed at Nanatuck house in Port Clyde for two weeks, and the rest of the time in the Portland area.  It was great hanging out with great artists friends….old and new! 

As much fun as it is to get away for a while, and in spite of returning to this awful heat….it’s always good to get home, and routine.  I basically don’t like the road, and living out of a suitcase.  I can only do that for short periods of time.  Some folks stay on the road, and travel from one thing/event to the next….just not my favorite thing!  The dislike for this type of living probably started when I was a teenager working in the summer on a couple of suitcase jobs (away jobs) in the oil fields of Louisiana….yes, that’ll do it! 

These shots below were taken by Marilyn of me painting a few of the locations around Port Clyde!  Until my next post, thanks for listening to my ramblings!
