Here are two February scenes that Andrew Wyeth probably would not choose to paint as Maine winterscapes. This one involves a super-high tide at Naskeag Point that actually got an inch or two higher than what you see; however, apparently no harm was done.
(Fishermen here usually come to work with a small boat on a trailer and use that skiff/dingy to motor to/from their vessel in the harbor.)
Below you’ll see our two-person L.L. Bean kayak wintering on the bank of Great Cove during low tide. The kayak has a color scheme that looks like slatherings of ketchup and mustard – not exactly the decor best suited for guests who get seasick. The lost lobster buoys and other nautical gear under the kayak provide different additional colors that seem outrageous in a winter landscape. (We collect this flotsam from the beach and notify any identified owners to come and get their gear, which they often don’t.)
