There's something about Maine that sticks with you, bro.

I've visited three times — twice with my wife and once with my daughter. Even though it's been about a decade since my last trip, those memories still find their way into my paintings.

Especially Stonington, Maine.

## Stonington — My Kind of Place

Stonington isn't some polished tourist destination. It's a working fishing village with weathered lobster boats, old buildings, rugged shorelines, and plenty of character.

Exactly the kind of stuff I love to paint.

Forget perfectly manicured waterfronts. Give me a beat-up lobster boat, some crooked docks, and a few interesting shapes to work with.

That's painting gold, bro.

## Painting the Maine Coast Loose

My coastal Maine paintings are inspired by working harbors, fishing boats, rocky shorelines, and the changing atmosphere along the water.

I use acrylics, watercolor, and mixed media, focusing on bold shapes, expressive brushwork, and unexpected colors.

I'm not trying to reproduce every little detail. I want to capture the feeling of the place.

Sometimes a few loose marks say more than a hundred carefully painted windows and ropes.
