Maine Farm

Living in Texas in the summer can be trying at best, so each July/August I try to get out of Dodge and go to maine to visit great friends and get out of the heat. Most people like the coast, which is wonderful, but the interior of the state is pretty special too. One friend lives in the lake district of Belgrade on Great Pond. the "pond" is 9 miles long; some pond! This scene is above the lake, looking down.The farm is old, not sure of the age, but my guess is 150. Fresh produce appears at the roadside where one can purchase whatever is seasonal and leave the money in a coffee can. This image is in oil,20x24 and has been sold.

For years I had looked at this scene from the highway thinking how serene it was and wanting to paint it. Finally, one day I followed a small road and there it was. The barn is very old, probably close to 150,maybe older and there are several houses scattered around. It's surrounded by tidal marsh which to me is very mysterious.
