Watercolor - Lake Sebago, Maine

"Adirondack Chair Overlooking the Cove - Lake Sebago, Maine" (Watercolor, 14"X11", $150)

This is another watercolor from our summer times in Maine. The Adirondack chair seen here is one of four that sits around a low wood table that's used for breakfasts and lunches outdoors. There's also a long wooden picnic-style table, but I like to use this one - it feels more private. This one is right outside and down the rise from our cabin, while the picnic table is next to the BBQ pit.

You can see the mouth of the cove on the right along with the tall pines on the point that mark the entrance. The beach is behind the chair, down and to the side, directly across from the cove's mouth. Low blueberry bushes grow all along the edges of the water, and a high bush is at the edge of the beach. This was painted on the last day of one year's visit and the sadness of leaving is visible in the picture. We were unable to go this last year, because the cabins were being completely done over - The campground and property were bought by a new family three years ago - from wood frame structures built in the 1920's to stone versions with a little larger footprint. I hope we can afford to go back and see the new ones for a week this coming year.

The mountains around the lake are visible in the background and the rocks at the point are visible in the water. I know those things won't have changed, and I hope that not too much else has changed at Lake Sebago. I'll certainly blog about it if we go this year.
