Maine sky 2
A sky can be the most beautiful abstract painting we get from God almost every morning and every night , you never see the same design twice ,the colors can be so beautiful and so unreal you wonder how it happens , I am fascinated with them at times , when I am painting at the farm in the summers in Maine with all my friends we go totally crazy taking pictures of the most beautiful sky over the hills of the farm or over the bay.
I am longing for my summer trips to Maine .

The Woodland path
Posting between commercials as the game is on , Go RED SOX !
This is a path that goes to the mountain where the bears live , last year I was about 30 feet from one, he came down while I was painting at our picnic table , my husband was talking to me when he said to me BEAR.. , I didn't panic ! I grabbed my camera from the table and walked to get a better shot , he actually posed for me , he was a teenager ,I guess! but big enough, about a month later one of my neighbor bragged about getting his bear, I was a bit sad because he really was a cute one, I might paint him one day from the photo I took.
