| Mary and her best pal, Dixie. Oil painting on panel. I finished this painting of my neighbor, Mary and her dog, Dixie a couple of weeks ago. I met Mary on walks with Chloe. I would see her walking Dixie and we'd wave and say hello. Dixie was an old girl and she started to decline quite a bit. Sadly she passed away last summer. I knew how much she meant to Mary. After she passed, Mary told me she had plans to move to New Hampshire. She's growing tired of all the changes that Portland is going through, as am I. I decided to add her portrait to the series because of her moving plans. I'm hoping to show this, along with the other portraits, next year at Upper Playground in downtown Portland. |

| Portland's Chapman Swifts - 8x10 Watercolor on Paper - $125 |
Hello! This is a listing for an original watercolor painting of Portland's Chapman Swifts.
Every year, for the month of September you can see these swifts start circling the Chapman School chimney around sunset. There are thousands of them. They dive into the chimney where they sleep all night. It's quite a sight to see and many people pack a picnic and sit on the lawn outside the school to watch it.
This original watercolor painting is painted on a heavy, archival, watercolor paper. I've used watercolor paint, pencil and ink to create this one of a kind painting. It measures 8x10" and is signed and dated on the front.
It ships to you in a protective plastic sleeve with a sturdy backing board. It is also mailed in a stay flat mailer for further protection from bending.
This painting ships super fast! I will ship it out within 1-2 business days via USPS First Class mail. It will ship fully insured if shipped within the United States.
Thanks for taking a peek! Please let me know if you have any questions or if you're interested in purchasing. If you're interested in purchasing this piece, please e-mail me at michelemaule@gmail.com
