Labor day came and went and for us that means we can finally take our summer's vacation. Our studio gallery no longer has regular hours and Michael did not have any students last week for the first time in many weeks. So what does a plein air painter and photographer do with a few days off? They go exploring and checking out the competition.... We had not been back to the Blue Hill Peninsula in almost 20 years even though we go annually to Acadia National Park. So we headed for the picturesque town of Stonington checking out the Galleries of Blue Hill en route. We only had 2 free nights as we had to get back for our studio tour on Saturday, but we made the most of our time. We met some wonderful artists and saw some really nice galleries: h

The following kaleidoscopes were created from 4 of the 298 photos I took during the 3 days. Michael said he has years worth of studio paintings from the photos he took of boats.
Seaweed in the Water
Stone Walls with Lichen
Stonington Harbor Reflections
Sunflowers without Goldfinches --there were many goldfinches on the sunflowers, but none of my pictures caught them in my lens!
