And to think I said I wasn’t jealous. How foolish of me! Although, I feel as if I might have been on your shoulder as these beautiful paintings have such magnatism. I am almost speechless. Ha! Ask my husband if I am EVER speechless. You did take us along and, my goodness, what a great trip. Not to take anything from your weekly sketches, I think I can see the joy you had in the beauty of this vacation rendition. Many thanks.
Jean,
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. How envious I am of such a wonderful trip during this time of settling-in-place. I miss nature so very much. Your work is lovely and inspiring.
Be well and safe.
Hi Pamela– It was an absolute privilege to be able to go. Everywhere we went people were masked and practicing social distancing; and we rarely saw anyone else on the trails, while swimming, or at tide pools. Just us and a lot of wild coastal forests and rocky ledges. Outstanding! Thanks for checking in.
I loved being invited along! I did love the coast of Maine, all those many years ago…your sketches bring it back, and I can smell the tidepoors and seaweed.
So glad to share the journey and bring back fond memories. I always love poking in the tide pools to see what’s there (and what’s not). Far fewer sea stars than years ago– I only managed to find a single one. Still, I love the quest. Wish I could send you some salt air!
Great photo of you Jean. Your journal entries brought me along the way.
I miss ME very much, gotta get back there soon. Thanks for all the beauty in your work.

Joy is a good word, Dawn. I’m in my element there for sure! Thanks for coming along!

Excellent! This transports me! Thank you so much for these gorgeous sketches. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
You are very welcome! Happy to transport you even just a bit!
