I frequently get requests for specific images for my Trivets, Placemats and Coasters.  One of the suggestions I have been getting quite a bit lately is for Irises.  The Blue Flag Iris is a native wildflower of Maine and in early summer it is abundant in and around the fields and homes of Rangeley.  So I decided to do a painting of a trio of wild Blue Flag Irises since I had a lot of subjects in the area to study.  I just finished the painting today and will have it available at shows and in the Store very soon.  I hope you like it.  

Thanks to all who organized and volunteered at the 2014 Yarmouth Clam Festival this year.  The weather was great & spirits were lively.  This longstanding event is a wonderful summer celebration of art, craft, music, family and community.  It is great fun to see the kids marching, bikers racing, and the men and women singing in barbershop, folk and rock groups.  For more on the show see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfDW23ggrC0&feature=youtu.be.

For those of you who stopped by my booth... thank you.  And a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped unload and pack up the Jeep!  
A few of my items were sold out at the show but see the Store tab for today's inventory update.  Also, I've posted my show schedule for the rest of the summer and fall on the Shows tab.
