| Rainy Day on Penobscot Bay, oil on canvas, 10X8. |
Yesterday morning was so cold that the electronics in my Prius
failed. My husband, a computer programmer, held down the power button for fifteen
seconds and it rebooted. What motivates a person to be in Maine in these
conditions?
I am in search of real estate. I have delightful friends who
have hosted me when I’ve taught and worked here, but the time has come to
acquire my painting studio in Maine.

| That same scene this morning. No way am I walking down to the water. |
Most people start at the kitchen when touring a property. I
start with the outbuildings, because the studio is what’s important. I’ve found
a great agent here who understands this—Jackie Wheelwright of Legacy Properties Sotheby's International
Realty in Camden.
Together we’ve floundered around in a lot of snow. February
is a tough time to buy property in the northeast, and this February has been
particularly bad. I can’t see the roofs and I can’t get to the outbuildings
without my ski poles and a good deal of swearing.
 |
| I may not care about cooking but I'm always a sucker for a good little woodstove. |

painting with me on the Schoodic Peninsula in beautiful Acadia National Park in
2015 or Rochester at any time. Click here for
