Am posting more photos from the Olson House in Cushing, Maine.
If you go, you’ll understand why Wyeth loved to paint there.
The light is just amazing.

Anyone visiting Christina’s House in Cushing will see why it was such an interesting subject for Andrew Wyeth.

Winter landscapes are black and white and tones of grey.
So that red really pops whenever you see it.
And is so appealing in snowy areas like Scandinavia and New England.
The last winter storm left snow so deep, this beautiful horse was frozen in the front yard of this Rockport home.
Is that the saddle waiting for a rider?
While nearby, a frozen, but fierce, folk art fish guards this garage.
And luxurious condos shelter real snow birds.
Although some say the awful recession has ended, many others suffering losses, or ‘taking a bath,’ as they say, would heartily disagree.
Among Maine’s losses is the wonderful Decourm Speciality Hardware in Portland’s Old Port.
Nick Harding ended the 30-year run of one of the oldest businesses in the Old Port last May.
Homeowners, builders, and architects will no longer find hard-to-find kitchen and bathroom fixtures, unique architectural hardware or speciality lighting on Commercial Street.
Web shopping and lack of parking also contributed to the decline in business. And most of their current business is special order, which doesn’t require a prime retail location.
Nostalgia Lighting, which operated as part of Decorum, has relocated to Falmouth. And hopefully Decorum will find a way to reopen as well, one day soon. We miss it!
