Thursday, July 10, 1980

Went into Manchester and parked by the Currier Art Gallery and waslked around and did a couple sketcjes waiting for it to open.  Crossed into maine for the first time and headed for Wells Beach-I'm always partial to beaches-and parked by the bulkhead.  I walked down the beach to the inlet and did a painting of two houses on the point, which I will include a photo of with a dark stripe across it which is probably the shadow from the strap.  I tried to take a photo of all my paintings for my own record and a lot of times they were just propped up by the side of the road and sometimes to save money I would take pictures of four at once.  By the time I saw the slide I might no longer have the painting.  This painting was left at a friends used bookstore in Denver, Colorado when I passed through there  to see if he could sell it and then send me the money. That was about 25 years ago so I don't think I will ever see it, but I do have the photo.  So while the quality isn't always good I do have a record and some of them I sold before I got home.  The water is very cold up in maine, for me at least, but I still needed to get cleaned up.  The tide had been out and as it came in the exposed rocks that had warmed up in the sun made the water more tolerable as they rised the temperature of the water a few degrees.   Took another walk and then stayed here for the night.  1843.1 miles from start and $13.50 average expense per day.  my at website  http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartusa/index.html
