Artist to watch… Colin Page!

ColinPagePaintings.com

My husband and I met Colin Page several years ago while we were in Port Clyde, Maine. He was set up not far from Monhegan Boat Line and he was painting the ice cream shop. I still remember that painting, the colors, the composition… wow, all were perfect! Colin is someone who can pull off painting something ordinary like a street with a stop sign and a telephone pole AND make it look stunning! Whenever my husband and I see the white light on the water from the sun or a picturesque intersection, we always say… “ahhhh, a Colin painting!” so true!

Colin was one of the guys in the cottage down from us, in the PAINTAPALOOZA group, (I know I keep saying this will be a future story… I need to do it don’t I?) – it was so exciting to see so much awesome artwork in one house by all these amazing artists!
Colin gets an A+++ for keeping his  website so updated! It cannot be easy to be an artist AND keep up a website, blog, etc. etc. You must check out his website AND his journal. Valuable information. This guy is good. We have a painting of his that we absolutely love, lobster boats and the white light from the sun. Simply amazing!
Colin is in several galleries, we’ve only been to DOWLING  WALSH, very nice! If you’re in Rockland, Maine sometime, check it out!

    1. Hey Claire, nice to meet you… you are hilarious! Yep, your brother rocks! My husband and I have admired his work for some time, then bumped into him ‘in person’ while in Maine. He couldn’t have been nicer! Thanks for the comment!

  1. Hi Barbara,

    Thanks for the generous post. I really appreciate the kind review. I like your blog. Is this new? I will post a link to it when I get home to Maine. I am currently visiting my ridiculous sister in Los Angeles.

    1. Hey Colin! ANYTIME! We really enjoyed meeting you, especially the tour of your cottage full of artwork… what a treat it was! Your sister is too funny… at first I read the comment and thought UH OH… then finished reading it and whew!
      A link to my blog would be great… it’s fairly new, I started it 1/1/11… talking of my favorite things… mostly art (other peoples, ha ha, not my own), food and travel mainly. Hope all is well, we still LOVE LOVE LOVE our painting! My entire family keeps up with you via your journal… Take care and have fun with your sister, she seems like she would be fun to be around!
