We have a cottage on Bailey Island and love to explore all the hiking trails, great restaurants, and amazing shorelines. One of my most favorite places to paint!

I get asked all the time for recommendations for paints, brushes, and other art supplies. So here are some of my most favorite suppliers. After a thirty year break I have gone back to painting in watercolors and acrylics. I love buying supplies too much! So the fund my hobby I opened up an Etsy shop selling prints of my paintings. I think I have tried every product there is so I thought it would be fun to share my recommendations.

Here is a great list of things to do in Maine! There are so many great places to discover from craggy shores to Portland that offers many great restaurants and fine shopping.

These are a few of my favorite places to paint: Bailey Island, Potts Point, Giant Steps, Lands End, Strawberry Creek are just a few. There is nothing like sitting outside with the sounds of crashing waves, seagulls cawing, and the smell of wild roses to inspire a great painting session. To see my paintings go to ElenaCroninArt on Etsy.
