Just an hour from Portland, the #MELakesMtns Region is truly a 4-season recreation destination. Featuring ten of Maine’s highest peaks and hundreds of glacial lakes, #Sebago, #Flagstaff and #Rangeley to name a few, this family-friendly area can be as action-packed or serenity-filled as you desire. #Maine #MaineVacation #MaineAdventure

Watercolor impression of “Hartleys Mountain”. Sketching these for the Marsden Hartley tribute show with my dad @barterartgallery in June 2018 at The Barter Art House in Brunswick Maine. Let’s see how these sketches translate into large scale oil paintings! #art #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #modern #modernart #marsdenhartley #thebarterarthouse #maine #maineart #maineartgallery #brunswickmaine #watercolor #watercolorpainting #sketch #sketchoftheday #videos #videooftheday #makeart
