A summer place

I painted this triptych of the Machias River, Machiasport Maine some years ago. It's a Port Road/Rt 92 location along the riverbank about half a mile before we reach the lane to our summer house off of that road, Rt. 92 which eventually ends in the sea at Starboard Cove. 

I needed the calm of this summer haven today after receiving a heartbreaking, very early morning email from dear friends. It contained incredibly sad news. I wish them the peace of this spot, they will need it to cope. 

From the Record,
This day came in sunny and cold.

All hands heartbroken.

Extra, our lane, soon to be called Abbie Hanson Lane
