Nanatuck 2017
What a creative week in Port Clyde, Maine! Nanatuck's an artist's retreat organized by Mary Erickson and this was the second time I had the honor of joining. I was surrounded by brilliant, energetic, and friendly Master artists. Absorbed a wealth of inspiration and knowledge simply by peeking over a few busy shoulders. Don Demers, Mary Erickson, Mark Fehlman, Robert Sloan, Neal Hughes, Daniel Ambrose, Jane Sither, Eielnne Basa… to name a few.
*Our group was deeply touched by meeting Helga, Andrew Wyeth's model! Mark Fehlman gave me permission to use his FB photo. "One of the highlights of our trip was having dinner with Helga of Andrew Wyeth fame. She's a wonderful, energetic and creative soul."-Mark
Helga and Mark!
*Jane Sither and I visited the Olsen estate where Wyeth loved to work. Heard the sounds… birds and wind whistling through the trees that he listened to while painting. Felt sad Jane couldn't hear it also, but I could tell she felt the breeze and joy of the surroundings. Jane's totally hearing-impaired, filled many notebooks sharing our adventure.

*Went to the 100 Year Anniversary Andrew Wyeth Exhibition at the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland.
Wyeth had his eye on Jane Sither and me in front of the Farnsworth.
