Maine Morning, 8x8, Oil



I just realized I've hit 600 posts - this is an amazing thing for me.  How quickly time flies!  I can honestly say I've enjoyed every post, and doubly enjoyed the new friends I've made through blogging! 

This was a plein air study done on the dock on the last painting day in Maine.  I loved the pink buoy!  I've got a bit of traveling to do, a little anniversary trip to Quebec where we spent our honeymoon, 33 years ago.  Aside from that I wrenched my neck and shoulder walking Paco last weekend, (he saw something behind us and ran full tilt while I was walking the other way!) and have been unable to paint!  Hopefully by Tuesday I'll be in the swing of things again, and I'll return dying to paint (I am already!).

  2. Congratulations on 600 posts, Kelley. Only in America.....you people are so committed in what you do.Dedicated people! (I speak from experience as my daughter in Houston is homeschooling) This cottage in Maine with it's own jetty is a symbol of an ideal life,isn't it? I appreciated your comment on Fb and will try to post it in my proper blog.

  3. Congratulation. Sorry to hear about your neck. My little Ozzie did the same thing to me. Torn rotator cup in my shoulder. I am in therapy now for it. He saw some people on bikes. They are strong little doggies. Love your Maine painting.

  4. Thanks, Nancy & Marie! Marie, I'll try to get to your blog today - even typing is irritating my shoulder! Jo Ann, OMG, maybe that's what I have - I am going to wait till I get back from my trip to see a doctor - could be an ice-pack trip!

  11. Hi Kelley:
    I am commenting on your painting today on Daily Painter Originals. Your painting called 'Bloody Mary', has summer patio, cool and refreshing, written (or should I say painted all over it)!
    Is it noon somewhere yet?
