Green of Maine II

This is the second watercolor and gouache in the Maine series.  It's 12 x 18 on watercolor 140 lb. paper.  One of the things I noticed while there was the interesting shapes of the branches and leaves all around me.  Mostly Fir type trees, but came across Birch and a couple of other very interesting towering giants.

Changes

I started dieting in January and have already trimmed down three dress sizes.  I finally made a decision that I wanted to lose all these unwanted pounds and concentrate on myself.  Not only have I lost weight, I have reignited my love for bike riding and have gotten back on the saddle.

I thought it would be a good idea to get away  for a long needed break and decided to visit some very good friends of mine who have a home in Raymond, Maine.  This painting is the first of the "Maine Series."

I also just finished putting together the illustrations and layout for a children's book that I was hired to create for a very talented woman who is an actress/storyteller, Paddy Lynn.  I will post that information when we have the book completely ready for viewing and purchasing.
