"Maine Fever" — Oil on canvas 36”×36”
This painting captures a lighthouse viewed during our first road trip as a married couple, a moment of quiet discovery on the coast of Maine. The composition is rooted in a photograph taken after a steep hike to reach the overlook; I returned to the studio determined to preserve the light, the atmosphere, and the memory. Broad, deliberate brushstrokes convey the salt-sweet air and the subtle motion of sea and sky, while a restrained palette emphasizes the soft, early-evening glow that held our attention that day.
The lighthouse stands as both a literal landmark and a symbol of that early chapter in our marriage: guidance, resilience, and shared curiosity. Textural contrasts — the structured form of the tower against the loose, windblown vegetation — reflect the balance between steadiness and the spontaneity of travel. Layers of glazing and scumbled highlights recreate the warmth of late-afternoon sun on weathered surfaces and the cool reflections on tidal water.
This work is an attempt to hold a personal memory in paint: the hike, the photograph taken on a rocky path, the quiet conversation that followed. It is meant to invite the viewer into that moment of two people witnessing a landscape that would become part of their shared history.
in earthy tones and natural texture, this vase draws the eye with its layered surface and sculptural presence. Its generous shape makes it ideal for statement arrangements—or as a work of art all its own.
