'Five 0' is named for the sail number of this boat that was racing one calm August day.  It was hot and humid and there was very little contrast between the sky, sea, and boat.  I like the head-on shot of a boat with spinnaker flying.

'Hike on Norumbega'  is one of a series of cairns that I painted for a 2010 show at the Courthouse Gallery called Painting Mount Desert Island .  I wanted to see the island from a different perspective.  This painting represents what is left in one's mind after a long hike on one of the prettiest mountains on MDI.
