  MONHEGAN ISLAND I
If you haven't visited Monhegan Island, 10 miles off the coast of Maine, you may travel there through my eyes.
Perhaps it will give you the desire to visit the island with many galleries and unique shops, and stay overnight at the charming inns.
The following day you may want to venture to the backside of  the island to catch the breathtaking view of the Atlantic from the highest cliffs on the Maine coast.






Sun's Breaking Through
 
The wash was done with the hopes that the fog will lift
 and the clothes will dry.
 The sun broke through and burned off the fog.

Morning Walk


I was sketching out this scene with the sun shining on a waking up island.
Then to add to the wonder of it all a grandmom and her grandchild
walked in and out of the scene for
an early morning walk before breakfast.  
Perfect!

Manana Island shelters the harbor in front of Monhegan Island.

safe from the open ocean's rough seas.

On Guard

A delightful addition to Monhegan Island were these new chicks
as they waddled around scurrying for food.
They put smiles on the
faces of many visitors to the island.
The male was very protective and watchful of his brood.

Red

 It was so much fun to watch the antics of the baby chicks as they scurried around the yard. They were moving targets to try to capture their gestures.
After much observation I painted very quickly. 
I loved the feathers on Red's legs.

The Barnacle

The Barnacle is the place to get a quick bowl of soup or sandwich

The deck offers a great view of the activities at the dock
as well as the birds on Smutty Nose Island.

The Village

Passing the Island Inn in the background, visitors walk down the main drag of Monhegan Island, passing island homes, small galleries, variety store and restaurants and piles of lobster traps. Lobstering happens in the winter
in the cold waters off Monhegan Island.

Tall House

Sitting at the top of the roadway from the dock,
this island home stands tall and proud.

.
