"I spent two days on Vinalhaven painting and taking pictures. I was thrilled to see this view from the deck of my hotel room after I checked in. Could not have been more convenient. A couple staying two doors down in the same hotel, who had ridden their Harley's all the way from Oregon, ended up buying it." -Sept 2012

"I painted this scene from the front seat of my car in a Nor'easter. The rain was blowing sideways. It was like having buckets of water thrown at you. The yellow looked cheerful in all the gray that filled the sky and water."
