Below are some of my paintings from the last week in mid-coast Maine.
It was my first time painting in Maine and I have to say it’s one of the best places I’ve ever painted. The weather has been great, sunny but cool most of the time, the people are incredibly friendly and knowledgable about plein air painting, and there is a great wealth of stunningly picturesque places to work.
I have an opening tonight at Haynes Gallery in Thomaston, Maine. It’s actually a few group shows. My ‘group’ consists of Karen Blackwood, T. J. Cunningham, Ben Fenske, Greg Howitch, Leo Mancini-Hresko, Joseph McGurl and myself.
Joseph McGurl was a big influence on my work when I was first starting out as a landscape painter (and still is), so it’s great to be showing with him.
I’ll also be giving a painting demonstration at 3:30 pm, if you happen to be in the area.
Marc, these paintings from Maine are superb, would love to be at the opening tonight but Toronto is a little bit too far away.
Hi Marc,
Great paintings.
I lilke the loose and firm touch hou have.
By watching your paintings I learn a lot.
It,s a combination of speed and accuratesse.

love these paintings! As someone who grew up in southern Maine, I can definitely confirm the beauty. Keep the paintings coming!
Oh dang…I’m just catching up with your blog and am so sorry I missed your time in Maine. I would have gone to your painting demo for sure. The Maine paintings are great but so are the California ones and the recent Nova Scotia paintings. Happy trails!
