Island Granite is one of my favorite paintings. The summer after Charlie died my friend Gudie invited me to stay with her on an island off of Stonington. She was caretaker of about 10 islands that were part of a reserve . She stayed in a cabin on the island Saddleback, 75 acres of trees with granite shoreline. My favorite subject to paint is rocks. My father built a house near Old Garden Beach in Rockport MA when I was three. I guess my love of rocks began then. The memory of my little vacation on Saddleback will be with me forever. I had three perfect days there.

Monday was a perfect day for a painting trip, the first one this summer. A friend and myself went to Birch Park where I painted this watercolor.
