I’ve always found those dark, isolated islands forbidding but - no question -beautiful.

Ahh, I think the 'biggest' town near it is Bath - not too far from Brunswick. Sounds like you were further up than when we visited. Love your drawings Liza.

I loved how you added the foreground at the last second. The composition fell into place. I still don't know how you do it - draw quickly with what seems like a lack of a spacial plan. It's a gift.

Be safe. Leave early. As Anne Lamont would wish you, Traveling Mercies.

Thanks for sharing this, and finishing it as you did. For a little while I thought I might be seeing a Trump face among the trees, but by the end it was pretty much obliterated. From your hand to God's hand!

Thanks for the great early morning drawing class. I want to slow you down, though. But I will keep watching it today, especially like the tree silhouettes til I absorb your essential marks.

I had to speed it up in order to upload it in an area without wifi! Thanks--next time will be slower.

As a writer I am often reminding my readers that there's the book I write and the book they read. I was reminded of that when comparing the scene (Maine) in my view with the vision the artist (Liza) captured on the page. The photo of both is worth framing!
