Island Plein Air Breeze
An ocean breeze blows
among bright sunbeams
as plain air echoes
to plein air paint flows
in Prussian blue seas
from an island brush
to canvas with ease,
no hurry, no rush.

I went hiking with our gracious host, Susan, to the nesting area
for Black-back Gulls and Herring Gulls on the south end.
We had to step carefully, there were
eggs and chicks everywhere.

Two newly hatched Black-back Gull chicks and two to come,
likely hatched as you read this. I was thrilled to photograph
the birds, especially the gulls by the sea and in flight, also
photographing catbirds, an osprey, and Canada Geese.

Meanwhile back at the center of the island the painters were painting.
Ken Carlson splashed some watercolors into the boathouse.

It was a great day, enjoyed by all,
though the natives were not sure of what to make of
The Plein Air Painters of Maine.
