Maine Pines

Oil on canvas panel. I painted this on a recent trip to Maine, on the property of Eight Bells, one of the Wyeth family's homes. Now a private residence, I have had the great privilege of painting there on a few occasions, and knew before arriving that I wanted to focus on these beautiful trees. I was, in fact, standing with my back against Andrew Wyeth's old studio, and only realized later that this would have been his view while standing at his easel.
