Three Seasons - 4x4 Mini Painting in Shabby Chic Frame




Been thinking about painting some smaller mini painting and I found these cute little 9.5 x 9.5"  shabby chic, antiqued cottage look frames the other day. I should have bought one more frame so that I could paint all four seasons....shoot!

Daily Painting: Acadia, Maine

ACADIA, MAINE IN AUTUMN

I love to paint water scenes. They happen to be my favorite subject followed by a close second in trees!

Our family was big on sailing when I was a child/teenager. We sailed on two boats in particular, Serenity and Windborne. Up and down the coast, in and out of harbors, and off to secret islands! These fond memorizes still have a place in my heart and inspire me daily.

The leaves are just starting to turn....it's getting ready for fall and cool here today in Maine.  Leaf peeping season will soon begin.

I love playing with colors and variations of similar subjects. 
Here I painted two slightly different Birch reflections.  Both paintings are 8x10.

Didn't have a chance to name this one, but it sold when I posted it on Facebook 
Thanks Pam - hope you enjoy!
