Stonington Opera House Winter Sunset, 11x14" watercolor. I painted this for myself, missing Deer Isle and my grandparents during this winter season. I took the reference photo at Thanksgiving, years ago, during the first snows of the year. I remember rushing out into the snow as we gathered for dinner, the sunset was blazing golden on the water and the snow was sparkling, and I had to take photos before it faded. (Family was literal seconds away from eating without me when I raced back inside, hah!) This feels like an unusually "sweet" painting for me, but it was just exactly what I wanted. This place, to me, is absolute magic. And sometimes ya just want glowing lights, safe harbor, and the perfect hush of fresh snow.
