The Lake Country of Maine

Moose Pond and Pleasant Pond

For someone delving into plein aire painting, the lake country of western Maine was a visual gold mine of oppurtunity. Over the first several years, when I lived only a few miles from Sebago Lake in the town of Windham, I was able to develop a small body of work that I felt good about. There is something quite exhilerating about the juxtaposition of lakes nestled between mountains, which I tried to capture with watercolor on paper. You can judge for yourself how successful I was with these two paintings.
