By Land or By Sea - Paintings 2020

I had been thinking about replacing the artwork hanging above our bed.  I had a couple of old canvases that had been moved with me a couple times. So ideas started bouncing between Gary and I. We love Maine, so many memories together there. And we also wanted to share our favorite spot in our own backyard.

We were really missing our annual summer visit to Maine, as it always has a way of making everything alright. So the Maine painting is of our sanctuary on the Sheepscot River, in Edgecomb, Maine (photo from 2010).

We always think of our favorite spot for kayaking, you always see the beach and environment so differently. We naturally gravitate toward Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands in our own backyard here in Florida.

So, we hung the paintings of our favorite places over our bed. I am sure they will bring sweet dreams, whether we are in Florida, or in Maine!

I painted them a painting depicting all the special things of the event--from the lace of her train, that special bouquet she put together to remember her mother on that special day, and of course the tropical touch for the honeymoon wishes, and from our memories of that one unusually perfect trip that turned out to be the most unusually perfect of friendships.  M...
