Lobster buoys wash up onto the rocks and beaches all along the coast of Maine. Although I don't collect them myself, many others do, and hang them all around there homes. They are so wonderfully bright and colorful, that of course, I love to paint them. So I either sit in front of people's houses and sketch or I take a snap and scurry on. This was two of my ten pages done for Nina's Maruman called "Multitude". You can see the progress of our exchange here.

It's great! Love it!!!!
those purple shadows make it sing!
I'm with Ms. Bray-- the purple shadows are terrific. Did you go to Cape Ann as well?
Love the colors and super handling of the watercolor. I didn't know they washed up on shore all the time.
Those luscious colors are so wonderful. I kept clicking on the image to enlarge it, so simply stated yet so full of life.
LOve your bouys, love all your sketches!

Oh wow. This is really really beautiful. You know, your drawings and paintings give me such a sense of where you live. Not just through lanscapes but through ALL of your drawings. It's not often that happens, I don't think. Great stuff.
