Sophie and I took the opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy a few days with friends at their beautiful home up the coast from Portland in Georetown Maine.
The front yard of my friend's house are these wonderful rocks and tide pools, crashing surf and open ocean as far as the eye can see. Their house is actually bolted to the rocks. 
Lobster boats on my way to Georgetown, Maine.
I can almost feel the ocean spray and smell the sea. I'm amazed those little shacks on the dock are still standing.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such an excellent part of the country. Winslow Homer country (I am an enormous fan). Your drawings, sketches and paintings are beautiful and I feel that I'm living up there vicariously (virtually?) through you.
ReplyDeleteI want to draw like you when I grow up. These are wonderful drawings! Are you using pen, ink, & watercolors? And are you also drawing in a moleskine? I love your work!
ReplyDeleteOh, great images, Jennifer! These are making me nostalgic for Maine now. Fabulous paintings!
ReplyDeleteGlorious color and clarity! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Love your style. Color and simple lines, very, very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very Maine! Always glad to see your posts.
ReplyDeleteGreat paintings. Love the colors on the boat pic.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, everything you do is superb! And I'm a little jealous of the fabulous areas you have to sketch!!
ReplyDeleteWonreprearcderful - you have such a way with ink and wash...
ReplyDeleteOH! That odd word was meant to be 'wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Oh that salty air! You've captured the coast so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYou've made it live, Jennifer. I could SO be there...
ReplyDeleteI am so totally impressed by these two sketches. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGosh -- I wish I could do that! The economy of line, the wash of color, and there you have the whole idea, beautifully articulated!
