Landscape & Seascape Paintings

Recently I spent a week painting en Plein air at several locations in Maine, one of which was at the Olson House in Cushing, ME. This National Historic Landmark is well known as the setting for Andrew Wyeth’s painting, Christina’s World, and some 300 other paintings and drawings by Wyeth inspired by the house and its residents, brother and sister Alvaro and Christina Olson. The site has a significant, long-reaching heritage: homeland to Indigenous peoples and later colonists and their descendants who built the house and farmed the land. I shared this particular view with Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, the Olson family, and a few others who have been laid to rest in the small burial ground surrounded by trees on the cliff overlooking the St. George River.
