Welcome to Portland Maine Notebook

Welcome to Portland invites the viewer on a leisurely walk to breathe the crisp ocean air, smell the flowers, and admire the architectural beauty on display in this beloved coastal Maine town. Bare branches with a hint of green are silhouetted against an icy blue sky, a sign that spring has barely begun. In a testament to Maine’s moody seaside weather, grey clouds hover over Portland’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, fading into soft misty blue. Clean lines of yellow, red, and grey matte milk paint depict the cathedral’s dramatic towers and rose window, blending sun and shadow to emphasize the structure’s imposing height.
