Welcome
In addition to this site, I've started a new blog site. It's called Rick Daskam Small Paintings. You can get there from my link list below. It's all small paintings or studies for larger works. I will be trying to post one a day ...or, as often as I can!

Rock, what brought you such joy on Monhegan is in peril!
Well meaning windfarm wannabes of the University of Maine propose setting up a floating Offshore Wind Research and Development Center only two nautical mile off Monhegan's Lobster Cove.
While these will only be halfsized prototype windtowers - and won't even produce any power for Monhegan or the mainland - they will for the foreseeable future dominate the view from all south-facing elevations on the island.
Daytime: in the morning, as the horizon brightens, the first rays of the rising start flickering through the mills as the sun backlights the spinning blade.
Throughout the day the spin/flicker shall tug at every eye, even when only in one's peripheral vision. Then at night, the deep star-drenched cosmos rising from the pathless horizon will be punctuated by the thirteen to 30 blinkers that the facility must operate for navigation purposes.
This need not happen. Maine Superior Court this moment is considering a case to require the University to relocate its plan to one of the other five locations that it picked Monhegan from.
What is needed to bring the University to its senses are artists who have responded to the beauty of Monhegan and then channeled it through brush, pen, chisel, pen or lens. You would be part of a panel to inform the court on the scenic value, the ineffable grandeur of Monhegan that for centuries has been translated through the Arts.
Interested? Contact Penobscot Bay Watch 207-691-7485 or ron.huber@penbay.org for details. More info on the case: click on http://tinyurl.com/savemonhegan
No fees or charges of any sort will be requested or likely available for taking part in this panel.
Stand up for Beauty!
