Downeast Maine with its scenic rocky coast, quaint small towns and classic wooden boats is an ideal place for a boater and artist. With the exception of taking a few private watercolor lessons when I took a leave of absence from my real job as an airline pilot in 1996 I have no formal art training. After retiring from the airlines and moving to Maine in 2016 I started taking adult ed and online watercolor classes after a 20 year hiatus. Other than occasional pen and ink I paint mostly with watercolors. After taking an egg tempera workshop given by Phil Schirmer, I've been exploring that ancient medium. Boats, seascapes, especially the rocky coast, have been my focus.
