"Mini-Series"
The painting challenge for September is over but I found that I was having fun painting mini-series of favorite places. I painted three views from a bridge that spans Pratts Brook in Yarmouth, Maine. Here is one example with the others posted in my Etsy Shop. They are all 5" x 7" acrylics.

They are all 5 x 7' acrylic paintings.

Paint Out at Sandy Beach
I got out to paint at Sandy Beach in Yarmouth yesterday. I timed it so I could be there at low tide to enjoy painting the marsh grasses. This is one of my favorite places to paint.

September Painting Challenge
The painting challenge continues...
I have done some more 5x7's. All of these were inspired by a recent visit to the causeway between Cousins Island and Littlejohn Island in Yarmouth. Here is one showing the view looking northeast from the Cousins Island side of the causeway. All the causeway paintings are now in my Etsy shop. Please visit!
