This home stands in the most photographed town in new England. It sits on a Maine cove inlet more beautiful than most, surrounded by the classic New England small town, and tree lined streets that glow in early fall in the same kind of sunlight I remember growing up In Westchester County, NY. A pulp classic and movie hit of the late 50's was written by a 20 something living here, and the 2nd story used book shop in town always has an old paperback for tourists. $3 if he isn't sold out. At the opening of chapter 5, it reads, "Chestnut Street...was considered to be the best street in Payton Place". This is a yellow classic on that street, circa 1800. Like the next painting below, the style here is loose and fun and filled with sun and energy I think. I really enjoyed doing it "plein air", and later finishing it in the studio. A perfect, quiet, and beautiful place.
