Did a painting of the Prospect Harbor piers.  Headed north again through Jonesport, Beals and out onto Great Wass Island.  Had lunch at the Stowaway in Jonesport, a rare treat.  cheesburger with canadian bacon $1.30, coffee $.35 and frenchfries $ .45.  Went back and parked near cemetary on Great Wass, did some sketcing until rain started, read some, then later started a painting of a boathouse, but it started raining again and I still have the unfinished painting.  I found a great spot tostay a couple miles north of Jonestown on the bay overlooking some islands.  At low tide you could walk to the island and I did and did my tai chi out on it.  And after doing some sketches I went on a 20:04 minute run.  Went back out on the island and found a pool of saltwater on the opposite side where I took a bath-naked but for my sneakers, just like the pioneers except they did'nt have tennis shoes.  With the great view I decided to stay for the night so I could do a painting.  my art website http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartusa/index.html   now showing my work at online commercial site and prints of photgraphs are available from them as I upload them  http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=42727
