Plein Air Watercolor - Peavey's Pasture Eastport Maine
Had a wonderful time in Eastport Maine with family last weekend. We had beautiful sunny summer days as well as a day of rain showers , clouds, and sea smoke. So many moods and a painting everywhere you look (Of course I have that problem of seeing paintings everywhere I look all the time - even when driving).
This rolling pasture down to the sea was very striking and had so many different points of interest.
I had decided in advance to bring only watercolor on this trip and completed three paintings on location, observed constantly and took notes for many additional subjects. Of course, as soon as I saw the harbor and the complex myriad of boats of different shapes and colors with a lot of white, I'd wished Id brought my other mediums as it was too complex for me to attempt that subject in watercolor. Ahh well. I suppose I could have done it as a monochrome painting with detailed color notes for later.
