The Faculty and Member Art Show opened on May 31st River Tree ARts in Kennebunk, Maine. I feel fortunate to have been on faculty at RTA since 2014, teaching "Fearless Landscape Painting in Acrylic". We have lots of fun painting from one of my photos, after I do a demo painting in class. I so enjoy my students and the process of painting a demo. I try to complete the painting in about an hour, mostly I succeed. Sometimes the painting needs another half hour to hour to finish. I take the summers off for my travel and painting plein air and will start up again in the fall! The show runs through June, thank you <a href="https://rivertreearts.org/" target="_blank">RTA</a> for asking me to teach!<br />

This one recently sold, I painted it during my 2016 MECA Artist Residency at the Stephen Pace House in Stonington, Maine. I'm so grateful to MECA for the opportunity to have spent two and a half weeks alone at the Pace House and to my new collector! It was a wonderful slow time to discover a new place and to paint what I saw. This is the view in the evening from the lawn of the house, the largest painting that I did during the residency. Enjoyed looking back at my photos of that time...<br />

Thank you to my local collectors for supporting my work! This one from the Eastern Trail on Pine Point Road in Scarborough, Maine. I have spent a lot of time photographing and learning to paint on location here with with my best artist friends. Looking forward to spending more time here this season! I used to paint on a wooden french easel, but have switched to my lighter weight aluminum Stanrite easels and a wooden <a href="https://www.takeiteasel.com/" target="_blank">Gloucester style easel</a> for larger paintings and on super windy days. Happy to see paintings go to new homes, grateful!<br />

It's been awhile since I've written here, feeling gratitude for this year's sales! Thank you to <a href="http://oceanhousegallery.com/" target="_blank">Ocean House Gallery & Frame </a>for this sale from the Holiday Smallworks Sale and to my collector. This square was painted at Lighthouse Park at Pemaquid Point, Maine at the annual Pastel Society of Maine Painting Retreat on a beautiful early June day. I love to paint these challenging rocks that are so unique to Pemaquid. Feeling grateful!<br />

Happy to write that my pastel painting "Pemaquid 36" was accepted into the 25th Annual Juried Exhibition, <i>Renaissance in Pastel </i>of the Connecticut Pastel Society at UCONN Art Gallery in Stamford, Connecticut. The show runs from October 18 to November 17, 2018. Artists reception on November 3. This one was painted on location on the Pemaquid loop road on the first of June, my first painting after two eye surgeries earlier this year. It was quite a challenge as rain threatened and started while I was painting. I love painting on Ampersand Pastel Board, the surface stands up well to liquid which I use to paint in pastel and to draw as well. The texture builds up with successive layers of SpectraFix that I apply with a brush and mix with the pastel on the surface to paint. I keep adding pastel until there is a texture that I like, some rough areas in the water and smoother in the rocks, like gouache. The sanded board holds the pastel very well and gives a nice firm working surface.<br />
<br />
I delivered my painting and three others from Maine artists to the gallery and took the opportunity to travel on to NYC to do some city drawing and photography. In Brooklyn, the Village, Columbus Circle and the High Line, I love finding a bench or chair somewhere while exploring the City and taking the time to draw what I see. I use Arches Aquarelle Carnet de Voyage travel books with Pitt Pens and watercolor. Many thanks to my daughter for the pics and the warm hat delivery in a freezing Columbus Circle at Central Park!<br />

Very grateful to Littlefield Gallery, Winter Harbor, Maine and to my collectors for these sales from my in house gallery solo show! From Pine Point Beach to the Schoodic Peninsula, some of my favorite painting places in Maine. The support that a wonderful gallery gives to an artist's work is so important and I value it so much.<br />
<br />
Introducing work to potential collectors, showing and supporting new and experimental work, giving feedback on pricing and framing, helping me to discover painting locations; all of these have Jane and Kelly helped with. I hope that you can visit the gallery before the season ends on October 12 and celebrate their tenth year and always <a href="http://www.littlefieldgallery.com/caren-marie-michel.html" target="_blank">online</a>.

Thank you to my new collector! This was a studio painting from a photo on a lovely fall driving trip to the Maine, New Hampshire border. A striking moment of light and fall color in the mountains. Can't wait for the cooler fall weather, crisp air and clear colors of fall! More drives planned...<br />

In late July, I headed to New Brunswick, Canada, to paint for the <a href="https://sunburyshores.org/plein-air-painters-of-the-bay-of-fundy/" target="_blank">Plein Air Painters of the Bay of</a> Fundy annual show at <a href="https://sunburyshores.org/" target="_blank">Sunbury Shores</a> in St. Andrews. I've been visiting New Brunswick since 2007 and painting with the group since 2010. I'm very grateful and honored to show with such a very talented group of artists. I drove up to New Brunswick after a show opening at <a href="http://www.littlefieldgallery.com/" target="_blank">Littlefield Gallery</a> in Winter Harbor, Maine and stayed at the lovely historic <a href="http://www.blairhouseheritageinn.com/" target="_blank">Blair House Heritage Breakfast Inn</a> in St. Stephen and then on to the <a href="http://www.clippershipp.com/" target="_blank">Clipper Shipp Beach Motel</a> in Pocologan. I love the view from the rooms here, sunrise and moonrise on the Bay of Fundy and gently lapping waves as the amazing Fundy tides change. Each room has a kitchen, fully stocked, which saves a lot of time for me and a deck overlooking the beach. I had some fog, but very warm weather for the week and was able to paint six paintings for the show. The show opening reception was wonderfully attended and some folks that I met painting were there, I always meet the nicest people out painting and one couple from Poland, Maine, left a sweet hand painted rock for me on my deck chair! As I had to give the gallery a list of paintings for the show in May, I went prepared to paint the works on my list, location, size and medium...this was a fun new way to paint! I highly recommend it, and of course, I work best with a deadline, four and a half days to paint... Special thanks to <a href="http://www.michaelchesleyjohnson.com/html/paintings.htm" target="_blank">Michael Chesley Johnson</a> for again organizing the show and to Sunbury Shores!<br />

In July, I was fortunate to spend a week on Monhegan Island painting with friends. We stayed at the Island Inn's Zimmie's House, a four bedroom home for artists to rent. The weather was really wonderful, some fog, cool, and warm all that one could expect from July on the Island. I was still just getting back to painting after two eye surgeries this year. My vision is great and it was wonderful to get back to painting. I decided to continue my "Painting Edges" series that had gone in a new direction from my Nova Scotia MECA Baie Ste. Marie Artist Residency. Instead of painting the painting edges, each strip is an original painting. I really enjoyed doing these from the porch at Zimmie's from my camera and phone pics and some reference photos from prior trips. I love painting on paper. We all had a great week, doing our own thing, sharing some meals and coming together at day's end. Can't wait to go back to the Island next year.<br />

I am so grateful to the Jenny Family and to <a href="https://www.meca.edu/info-for/alumni/alumni-opportunities/grants-residencies/baie-ste-marie/" target="_blank">Maine College of Art (MECA)</a> for the wonderful
opportunity to be in residence for two weeks in early June at Baie Ste Marie, Nova Scotia. I traveled
to Nova Scotia directly from a four day annual painting retreat in Pemaquid,
Maine, with the <a href="https://www.pastelsocietyofmaine.org/" target="_blank">Pastel Society of Maine</a> staying overnight in St. John, New Brunswick and driving from there to
New Edinburgh.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was my first plein air painting outing after major eye
surgery in January and March.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I found that early June was extremely windy in the area, so my
challenge was to figure out how to paint on location, as my easel would surely
blow over in the wind. It was very frustrating, as I was anxious to get outside
to paint. It took me awhile, but I thought of <a href="https://carenmariemichel.com/collections/61567" target="_blank">my Painting Edges series of paintings works on paper.</a> I had some large sheets of watercolor paper with me and I was lucky
to find some large sheets of foam core at the Weymouth Mercantile to use for supports. I
cut them just large enough (14 x 22) to paint while sitting in the car. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because of this challenge, the residency moved me to expand an
existing body of work to create original paintings in this series instead of
replicating existing painting’s edges as before. I completed one painting and
started another, which I will finish in the studio from my photos. I also was
able to paint a large painting of the amazing view from the house which captivated
me the whole two weeks on a less windy day and some mini canvases from the
house. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most valuable thing that I learned was how to take an extreme
challenge (the wind) and to have the time to figure out how to make the
challenge a positive factor in my work. I have been traveling to paint all over
Maine and New Brunswick for over twelve years and have had many plein air
challenges of every kind, but this one was a unique learning experience because
I had a full two weeks to figure it out without the pressure of any kind of
deadline, other than the end of the residency. I am very grateful to have had the time in Nova Scotia to explore,
photograph and get back to painting after my successful eye surgeries. I am
particularly grateful that my alma mater was able to provide this meaningful experience.

Thank you to my new collector from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/carenmariemichel?ref=seller-platform-mcnav" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a>! Peaks Island is a favorite get away and place to live for Portlanders, a short beautiful ferry ride on Casco Bay Lines. the coast of Maine has many forts, towers and bunkers from the past for coastal naval and military defense. I love painting buildings and other structures. this one is going to a new home in New York, shhhhhh, it's a gift! More Maine paintings available on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/carenmariemichel?ref=seller-platform-mcnav" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a>.<br />

Thank you to <a href="http://www.littlefieldgallery.com/caren-marie-michel.html" target="_blank">Littlefield Gallery</a> in Winter Harbor, Maine as we kick off the season with new work and to my new collector! Early season sales are very appreciated here in Maine, as our summer season is a short one.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Painting
Edges” is a series of acrylic paintings on paper based on my landscape
paintings on canvas. My landscape paintings continue around the edges of
wrapped canvases; I noticed that when lined up the edges of the paintings make
a new abstract landscape. I started duplicating the painting of the edge of the
canvas side by side on paper as I painted each piece. The new piece makes an
abstract landscape and documents my work.
Each piece reflects the mood, color, location of my work during a period
as it represents many individual paintings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
subjects for my paintings come from having lived in Maine all my life and
knowing intimately our everyday palaces and in the last several years my
painting travels all around Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. I bring my vision and experience of the place
to the viewer and I hope these works make one reconsider the everyday as a
painting. “Painting Edges” takes these traditional landscape paintings a step
further into the abstract, but pulls us back with sky, horizon, earth, and
water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thank you so much to my new collectors and to Littlefield Gallery in Winter Harbor, Maine, for these sales from the fall show! All were painted this past summer during a week that I spent in Winter Harbor painting in Schoodic and Winter Harbor. I loved spending time on Grindstone Neck with her beautiful views of Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain. It was a wonderful week in late July and early August, a painting retreat that I organized with several other women painters. I am very grateful for the fabulous Kelly and Jane Littlefield, my new collectors, my great women painter friends and to our generous host!<br />

I recently spent a week on Monhegan Island in Maine with three other wonderful women artists at <a href="http://islandinnmonhegan.com/zimmies-artist-residence/" target="_blank">Zimmie's Artist Cottage </a> The week started with a few days of fog, beautiful, but trying, if one is there to paint. The Cottage had a glassed in front porch to paint from, so I took advantage of the space. I started painting a photo that I shot of sunrise in June at Pemaquid Point looking at Monhegan. Then I decided to paint the lighthouse from the porch, the view from my room...the lighthouse appeared and disappeared in the fog all day, but I finally got it. Spent a lot of time walking and exploring, taking photos and drawing. We went to a wonderful lecture to benefit the <a href="http://monheganartistsresidency.org/" target="_blank">Monhegan Artists Residency</a> by <a href="http://www.lisajahnclough.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Jahn-Clough</a> and another by Susan Danly on Monhegan painter <a href="http://monheganmuseum.org/exhibitions-2/" target="_blank">Andrew Winter</a> both were great and we learned much about the artists' life on Monhegan. Still more fog, so I painted a view towards Manana of the rocks, with no Manana in sight from my camera display. That was a challenge! The fog cleared a little and I ventured out to paint at the end of the Main Road and was able to do two paintings. I love that painting spot!<br />
<br />
On my last full day, the shine was shining brightly and I painted all day from Fish Beach. I tried painting on panels for the first time and did three 12 x 12's of Manana, a triptych of sorts. My last day was spent on the porch of the Island Inn, drawing and lunch at the Inn. A happy painting week with three friends! Glad to see my family waiting for me on the dock at New Harbor!<br />

Thirty artists were chosen to make paintings of the trust land for the early July annual event. I was assigned to paint on private land at Breakwater Farm Road where the auction was to be held that night. A beautiful ocean side property! The landowners were lovely and I was allowed to drive my car (aka portable studio) right along the pasture to a perfect spot right by the beach with a view of Richmond Island. The weather was warm and sunny. I painted a large pastel, 24 x 36, on <a href="http://ampersandart.com/pastelbord.php" target="_blank">Ampersand Pastel Board</a> which has the advantage of a solid surface that doesn't need a mat or backing for the plein air event. My <a href="http://www.takeiteasel.com/" target="_blank">Take It Easel</a> holds the board very securely, even in the wind. The artists were asked to paint up to two additional small paintings for mystery box purchases, this allows more auction goers to held fund the land trust, support the artists and go home with a work of art! Buyers pick up their mystery box at the end of the auction and open it for a surprise, hoping that is one of their favorite painters' work. I painted two 10 x10 acrylics for the mystery boxes, one of Kettle Cove and the other of Pond Cove. We were also invited to paint for two days before the event, I started a large acrylic canvas, 18 x 36, but couldn't finish it before dark, I finished it yesterday and it is in my show at The Good Table restaurant on Ocean House Road in the Cape. My painting was the first one to be auctioned and I am happy to have a new collector! Thank you! and thank you to <a href="https://www.capelandtrust.org/get-involved/paint-for-preservation/" target="_blank">CELT</a> for another year of this wonderful event!<br />
