I am "drawn" to Maine. I am" hooked" on Maine. Call it what you will. I enjoyed EVERY beautiful minute of my visit.
My husband and I planned to visit good friends and I discovered that an artist that I greatly admire,
John Whalley (check out his incredible paintings and drawings), was teaching a class at the
Farnsworth Museum in Rockland while I was there. I signed up. I also arranged to meet up with the beautiful , inside and out,
Susan Tuttle (check out her amazing photography and art).Maine is about-
PEOPLE
Susan and I had lunch, checked out the beautiful town of
Damariscotta.
I attended two days of a four day intensive drawing class with John. Not only is he an amazing artist he is a great teacher. Here he is explaining the
golden mean.
Below is an example of Johns' work, a graphite drawing of my friend Walter. It is available at the Vose Gallery in Boston.
Dear friends, Walter and Arlene. Notice the resemblance. Pretty incredible, huh?
Maine is about-
ART
If you are in Maine , don't miss the Jamie Wyeth exhibit "The Seven Deadly Sins" at the
Farnsworth . He uses seagulls to illustrate each one. Fantastic!! The show will be coming to Delaware in the fall.

FLEA MARKETS AND TEXTURE
Two years ago, I was invited to participate in an altered book round robin with a group of women, half of whom were from Australia and half were from the U.S. We completed the round a few months ago, so I thought I'd share one of the pieces I did.
