Monhegan in September


The second annual Maine Landscape Guild trip to Monhegan took place during the first week of September this year. Six of us rented a house in the village, right on Fish Beach. In fact, the house is a converted fish house, and it's proximity to the water became all too evident on the second night when the remains of Hurricane Hannah roared through. We were fortunate the wind shifted when it did or we would have been IN the water, not just near it. Other than that dramatic night we had wonderful weather and we got a lot of painting done. This is a little (8 x 10 inches) painting of the tide coming in to the cove just north of the Kent House.
