Monhegan is a magic island.
N.C. Wyeth, Rockwell Kent,and James Wyeth each made his mark painting it. Monhegan is like a jazz standard. If you play sax you have to try Body & Soul.
Landscape painters and photographers have to try Monhegan. (My day will come.)
Taisy's graduation gift (self-selected) when she finished at Bates was a David Vickery (Cushing, ME) painting of an afternoon summer storm at nearly the same spot and same light as the shot here from Doris Madsen's Flickr set.
She and her husband own a Monhegan skiff built built at Carpenters Boatshop in Pemaquid where I just bought a skiff of the same design. More on that later.
Above are my favorites from her set and below is the embedded link to her Monhegan set on Flickr
