Freeport Harbor and Town Park

One of my
favorite places to paint is Freeport's
Winslow Park. Along with wooded trails and coastal views there is a straight
shot down Staples Point Rd
to get a view of Freeport Harbor. One day I traveled light with just paper and
colored pencils. Looking across the Harrraseeket
River at Freeport Harbor
I sketched with the colored pencils. When back in my studio I covered over the
pencil sketch with acrylic paint.

On another
day I set up my easel and painted with oils. This painting is in my Etsy shop. In this painting I wanted to include the top of Casco Castle
at the tree line.

Built in 1903, Casco
Castle was a hotel,
amusement park, and zoo! It burned down but the tower remains. There is some
information about the castle on the Freeport Historical Society's web page. If
you are looking for a nice hike after shopping in Freeport then head over to Winslow Park!
