This makes me so happy!
I remember painting this, on my first morning on Monhegan in 2019. I had spent an hour or so rambling around in the mist with my cup of coffee, taking photos. When the mist burned off the air was amazingly clear under a crackling blue sky. I loved the way the sun just raked the side of this house, so I sat down on a rock across the road and painted it.

and for an early Christmas present to myself, Mary Brooking's "Vaughn House, Sunlight Morning!" Shopping local artists helps my pandemic blues. Thank you, Mary!
So, while I was busy getting ready for tomorrow’s lesson, it seems this framed ink drawing mysteriously appeared at the doorstep of Continuum For Creativity, studio, gallery, classroom, and now, evidently, haven for foundling art. Can anyone enlighten me? One friend said it must be a holiday tag gift, and I’m supposed to regift it. Then the next person can regift it, and so on as many times as possible before Christmas!
So happy to be completing this commission painting today. It has been a complete joy from start to finish! I love commissions. Please message me to discuss your ideas.
So grateful for everyone who has made, or will make, a decision to buy local, handmade, and/or small-business every year - but never more than THIS year. All my appreciation, thank you SO MUCH for helping your neighbors and community stay afloat!! ❤️❤️❤️
It goes until midnight!
My Holiday Sale is at Lincoln Farm Studio.

Last a la carte painting class for the foreseeable. This has been such an enjoyable way to connect and paint together during the pandemic. Thanks to all my dedicated painters!
However - drumroll - as winter approaches with infection numbers going up, I’ve decided to put THE SKY IS NOT BLUE online beginning in January! You’ll be hearing more about this six-week exploration of acrylic landscape painting in the next week or so. I’m hoping two sessions will fill: 10-noon and 6-8pm, both on Mondays. Please reply or message me if interested!
New sign for the door. I made it out of MASKING TAPE - 😁 - of course!
Continuum is open by appointment or by chance. I’m here pretty much every weekday, and now and then on the weekends too. But if I step out to the PO or whatever, no one is here then - so email, message, call or text to make sure I’m in when you arrive.

'Valadon's figures didn't adhere to the delicate femininity that was expected of the time. They were contemporary women with modern clothes and hairstyles, as well as body hair — a far cry from the timeless nudes so prevalent in art history.'

I’m sad to say I didn’t know of this artist’s existence until I read this article. Her work is strong and wonderful!

'Valadon's figures didn't adhere to the delicate femininity that was expected of the time. They were contemporary women with modern clothes and hairstyles, as well as body hair — a far cry from the timeless nudes so prevalent in art history.'

So appreciative of my long-time students like Allison, who wrote this amazing recommendation - ❤️❤️❤️
“If you’ve ever wanted to get into painting but feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the idea of it, check out this painting demo by my friend Mary at Continuum for Creativity in Westbrook, Maine! She currently offers classes via zoom, and will offer in-person classes again in the future. Whether you’ve never held a paintbrush before, or are already an accomplished artist, it will feel like you’re right where you’re meant to be when taking her class. I’ve been a student of hers for nearly a decade and learn something new every time I see her. If buying art is more your thing, in celebration of Westbrook Winterfest, all of her original paintings are 20% off through March! 💕”
