I am back home after a week on Great Spruce Head Island in Penobscot Bay. I stayed in the former summer home of Fairfield Porter for the annual Art Week shindig. It’s a beautiful island. After a very nice week away, it’s great to be home.

Landing Beach, Left. Pencil and Conte on Canson
This drawing was my final effort out on Great Spruce Head Island this past week. It was a fine, fine week of painting and drawing. Also, I think that it did me a world of good to take a week out of my normal painting and drawing habits, taking the show on the road, as it were.
Off to make art on an island for a while…

Tomorrow, I am leaving this island, heading to a smaller, quiet island in Penobscot Bay for a week of painting and drawing. Deluxe!
Near the Shore Path, in progress
Here’s a little drawing of a site that I’d painted years ago and have recently revisited. As I worked on this drawing, I came to realize that I’d really liked the shapes created by the high tide water-line. This drawing is at low tide. Whoops. So, I have some further drawings to work up as I re-familiarize myself with this bit of shoreline.
