“I paint in beautiful contemplative places, which lend peace to me and hopefully to those viewing my work,” said well-known watercolor artist Joel Popadics. The subjects include vistas depicting land and sea, some in bright sunlight or moody fog.
“When I look at each painting I can recall very vivid details about the day, the time and temperature and who I was with. The paintings almost become a journal or diary of my life that is not written, but painted or drawn out,” reflected Popadics.

He loves the coast of Maine with its harbors and coves. He has rented a house on seven acres of land in Cutler, an area known for hiking trails. The exhibit includes: “Lobster Cove” Boothbay Harbor, painted in autumn. “Waves at Western Point,” a scene at Acadia National Park and “Holmes Bay Low Tide,” painted during a drizzle.
