Far from the Wolf | The Maine Project
Built in 1892 by John Godfrey Moore, is the setting for my ongoing project in Winter Harbor Maine.
Years ago I was commissioned to capture the views surrounding the historic property known as "Far from the Wolf." I was fortunate to live and paint in this grand house from America's gilded age while I explored Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula.
My affection for this town and its intensely beautiful and yet unforgiving landscape grow every year. What I thought was a chance encounter with Maine has turned a multi year love affair.
