New England

We were too early to see much of New England’s fall colors, but here and there the trees in Maine hinted at the glory to come.

A special exhibit on Abstract Expressionist Lynne Drexler showcased her big, vibrant canvasses from the 1960s. The Farnsworth is well worth exploring for anyone interested in American art of the past century.

Another artist at Rockland’s Farnsworth Museum, Carly Glovinski, preserved sunsets with hand-colored sand. “If I could save time in a bottle…”

Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) added windows and doors to his paintings, in this case to memorialize his friend Andy Warhol holding his dog Archie. Three generations, three approaches to painting, one family.

Andrew Wyeth (son of N.C.) painted grassy fields and enigmatic characters in the 1940’s and 50’s.

Artist N.C. Wyeth portrays a fisherman’s wife at work in 1934. Rockland’s Farnsworth Museum is renowned for its collection of works by the artistic Wyeth Family.

Leaving Rockland, Maine’s harbor, a sailboat passes a lighthouse on the end of a breakwater. The morning sun burned off the clouds for a beautiful day in this charming harbor town.

Sailing along the coast of Maine on the first day of our September cruise around New England and Canada’s Maritime provinces.
