The view looking down from Church Street, Stonington. What does this have to do with July in the 2023 Maine Lobstering DownEast Calendar?

Strange but True Fact:
The house in the Door to the See painting is not only featured on the cover (month of July) in the 2023 Maine Lobstering Calendar published by DownEast, but was also taken the same summer, 2020, I painted this painting above. It was easy to note the time frame because that summer the house's owner was replacing the ocean facing sliding glass door, and the construction can be seen ongoing in photos I took from the same vantage place, Greenhead, where the calendar cover's photo was shot. The calendar cover photographed is below and on the DownEast web site HERE.
