North Meadow Painting
$350.00
Original watercolor painting of Maine Audubon’s North Meadow field and the Presumpscot River estuary beyond.
Peaceful watercolor painting showing wildflowers in the North Meadow at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth. This wonderful bend in the path is an excellent spot for viewing shorebirds along the Presumpscot River estuary.
This North Meadow painting was inspired by a particularly beautiful walk early in the morning. I usually walk this entire field several times because I always find new things that I missed on my first pass. It’s a wonderful place to immerse yourself in nature and clear your head.
This original watercolor painting would make a wonderful gift for someone special who enjoys birding.
My original paintings of Gilsland Farm Pond and Gilsland Farm Lupine both show more lovely views of the Maine Audubon’s preserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy an original painting or a print?
Original paintings require more of a financial investment up front, but they also appreciate more in value over time. There’s also a satisfaction in knowing you have the only original painting. Giclees are more affordable and look exactly like the original paintings, so they are a great option for many.
While many of my collectors only purchase original art, others like to mix it up with both originals and giclees. It really depends on your budget and philosophy as a collector. If you’re just looking for some pretty paintings to add color or to give as a gift, giclees are a perfect choice.
What size painting should i purchase for my space?
I recommend taping pieces of computer paper together to create a mockup the same size as your art. You can even tape it to your wall with blue framer’s tape get a sense of scale. (I also recommend this technique for gallery walls.)
When you’re thinking about the frame size, you should add an additional 4-7″ on each side to account for the mat and frame. For example, a 14×22″ painting will probably take up 24×32″ of wall space.
I’m happy to help walk you through this process – just contact me.
Can I make changes to my order?
Possibly – please contact me immediately to see if your order has already been processed.
I’M TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN TWO PAINTINGS. WILL YOU HOLD THEM FOR ME?
It’s hard to decide, isn’t it? Reach out to me and we’ll see what I can do.
Do you have an open studio?
My studio is pretty cozy, so the best place to view my art is online. If you’re trying to make a decision and would like to see a painting before purchasing, please reach out to me.
Do you accept commissions?
Yes! I do a handful of commissions each year. Please visit my Commissions page to learn more about the process, pricing, and more.
How accurate are the colors online?
Please note that there are variances in color on different devices. The physical art matches what I see on my computer, but it might look slightly different on yours. For example, the colors are a little more muted on my phone and tablet than on my Mac. Also keep in mind also that the smaller the image, the sharper it appears online and in person.
DO YOU OFFER CUSTOM FRAMING?
I don’t provide framing services myself, but I’m happy to make suggestions! My 8×12″ and 10×14″ original paintings include a double white archival mats and backing board. They are ready to slip into 12×16″ or 10×14″ frames (easy to find). Buying unframed art enables the recipient to choose a frame that perfectly matches their decor.
