In July, my wife and I, made our annual visit to the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine. We usually stop on our way back to Vermont.
This year we spent two nights in Rockland and discovered what a lovely town it is. We were able to walk everywhere from where we were staying. There are some lovely old neighborhoods with charming architecture and large shade trees. Ed Hopper painted a watercolor, back in his day, of the inn we were staying in. There was a large print of his watercolor down in the hallway which added a bit to our stay.
At the Farnsworth Art Museum there is usually a gallery or two dedicated to Andrew Wyeth. Viewing his paintings in person never gets old. The scale of his paintings and the people he portrayed draw you into his pictures. In our daily lives we don't usually see watercolors that are four feet long. His drawing ability and unique perspective of capturing the landscape is extraordinary.
This is one of Andrew Wyeth's classic watercolors which was on exhibit.
