Inspiration behind the Maine landscape painting

If you’re participating in the polls then you know this is one of the winners. I’m very excited about the polls because it’s forcing me to utilize some of the smaller works to finally create some larger pieces on canvas. Sketches and smaller studies are something I prefer to do since it’s less intimidating than starting a larger canvas painting. Looking back about a month ago I was only doing studies, which is fine but eventually some of them deserve to be a more finished piece. Thanks to everyone that has participated in the voting.

The painting is inspired from a picture I took while visiting Monhegan Island in August of 2010. We spent a half day on the Island and the weather couldn’t have been better. The previous year was a bit overcast and gray so I was delighted to have the opportunity to take some great pics to take back to the studio.
