MyMainePaintings, Etsy, is filled with small studies for larger pieces as well as an occasional larger painting from a completed series. My newest work can be found on Instagram, @MyMainePaintings. If you see something that interests you, please contact me here.

I make abstracted and traditional landscape paintings in my she-shed studio nestled into a neighborhood on the shores of Biddeford Pool. We are surrounded by nature, the ever changing colors, light, and energy of the Maine coast. Over the years, life in Maine has become the primary inspiration for my work.

Memories of my observations of the world around me combined with field photographs, gathered objects, sketches and notes are the references I use in my studio. What we see doesn’t always translate into an interesting painting so, like editor, I add and subtract elements to create the final impression.

Oil paint is my favorite medium in part because it remains wet and workable for days. I enjoy the smell of linseed oil, the rich colors and the application of the paint is deeply satisfying to me. I use knives, brushes and sometimes I use my hands to create texture and a feeling of motion and vitality.

If viewers are moved by my paintings and they evoke a special feeling or memory, then I have succeeded.


There were many visitors to my she-shed studio near Biddeford Pool during the Summer of 2022. Now I have moved back into the small private studio inside my home and continue working on a 30”x48” commission. I reopen the summer studio in April 2023 and hope I will see you then.

Frequently asked questions

Gift wrapping can be arranged, depending
on your needs, there may be an extra fee. For shipping I carefully package all paintings, small works using recycled materials, keeping it green. Larger pieces must be picked up at my studio in Biddeford, ME.

Sizing details

Sizes are in inches for unframed paintings. If you have the painting framed, your framing professional will remeasured to insure the proper fit.

Copyright

All work is original and created by Adrienne Kernan LaVallée, it copyrighted by the artist. When you purchase an original work of art, the rights of reproduction remain with the artist. In short, this means you may not reproduce the image for profit without prior written consent.

Is the color I see on my computer true color?

Computer displays vary and may not portray true colors but my customers tell me they are very pleased and like their paintings even more in person.

All paintings are signed

“A.LaVallée”, “Adrienne LaVallée”, “A Kernan LaVallée” or sometimes “AKL” for very small images. Each is also signed and is titled on the reverse.
