I’ve been thinking alot the past few days about Monhegan Island in Maine where I go to paint at least a couple of times a year.
Today I flipped through the pages of weeks and months on my calendar until I came to May. I know that’s when I need to go back to the place where I am completely in my element. It doesn’t matter if it’s cold,or rainy…I always seem to “blossom” when I’m there.
Last Spring it rained for most of the three days that I was on the Island . I took this picture of some tulips that were just as happy as I was…drinking in the rain and just waiting to blossom.

Moneghan Island is a treasure! February is officialy half over today so it really is time to start planning for spring. Time to think about planting gardens and being outside again. Happy “daydreaming” !!
“Excellent use of color and texture,” observes your brother , Dan.
Thanks Dan…I like taking photographs that inspire me to paint!
Aunt Colleen,
What an impressive web site…it makes me miss Short Sands in York Beach, ME.
All my best,
