Two From Maine

Several years ago, I read a fascinating book by Trevor Corson, The Secret Life Of Lobsters, how fishermen and scientists are unraveling the mysteries of our favorite crustacean.  I have loved Maine and everything about it since I spent summers there as a child.
 When I am there, I try to eat lobster at every meal, beginning with a lobster omelet for breakfast.
It is my favorite food, and although my mother and grandmother made every known lobster recipe, from Thermidor to  Newburg, to lobster bisque and lobster salad,  I prefer steamed lobster with just a little lemon.
I have painted quite a few of these beauties and it always makes me happy seeing their beautiful color and form.
