We get to personally enjoy a tremendously long Spring season since we start off our seasonal bloom in Sedona, AZ beginning in March with lilacs, willow trees, apple trees, wildflowers, and all the bulbs. Then we travel over 3,000 miles to the Canadian Maritimes and experience it all over again. Here, off the coast of Maine, we are just beginning to see the end of lilacs and the horse chestnut candles are fading. The columbine, ferns, lupine and hostas are in their glory. The daylilies are beginning to bud and everything is green, green, green. The lawn doesn't stop growing-- sometimes it seems to grow more than an inch in a day! I did my final planting yesterday which included lots of red sunflower seeds which I planted successfully 3 years ago!
Michael has finished his project for the
50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park yesterday. A catalog will be available soon.
Our busy season is just beginning for downeast Maine and the Canadian Maritimes and the students will begin to arrive July 1st for our
Paint Campobello Plein Air Painting Program. If you want to do some guided plein air painting this summer, there are just a few spots left!
Below are some images based on our seasonal bloom.
