Sebasco Dock- #72911

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

There were some color adjustments I finally got around to making from this June 28 post when I was in Maine. As the sun burned through the overcast morning, the colors were getting brighter.


And on my gallery in Stowe front, this weekend is the Stowe Art Festival. If you're in the area, please drop by!

Lobster Boats Big Wood Island - #7111

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

I thought I'd originally put the foreground boat in, and later removed it. The water and wind change as do the directions of the boats.
The arrangement of spacing is interesting to me, and I hope this will inform larger paintings from this kind of study along with the photos I took.

'Ruth' Sebasco Harbor Resort - #63011

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

After painting on the drizzly day, I returned to Sebasco Harbor Resort dock to paint Ruth.

Cruises Aboard the Ruth

---

"The Ruth

Our own tour boat, the Ruth, is the center of much of that activity and has been delighting our guests since her launch in 1935. We offer a number of trips during the summer months, including scenic harbor and nature cruises, pirate cruises, and lunch cruises.

All scheduled trips aboard the Ruth are reserved seating and reservations should be made in advance to avoid disappointment."

The evening light of the day is the last tour for 'Ruth'. The sparkles on the water are dazzling.

Sebasco Harbor Master - #62711

8 x 10 inches Oil on canvas

The morning started off completely fogged in and grey with little visibility... kind of neat. And then as the sun came up it burned off the fog. You can see the island better as the morning wore on...I couldn't even see it initially! And it was chilly and damp enough that I had a down vest and foul weather jacket on top. Layers that can peel.
