Janet Moore

Harbor View, Penobscot Bay Area, Maine

Janet Moore: An original pen & ink drawing by the American artist, Janet Moore, Harbor View, Penobscot Bay Area, Maine, is untitled. Her delineation of the harbor and its buildings, however, leaves no doubt as to its location. Although Janet Moore resided in both New York City and Cleveland throughout much of her career, she spent most of her summers (since the mid 1960's) in Stonington, Maine, and eventually retired there in 1975. The actual harbor depicted thus may be Stonington, Deer Isle or one of the smaller communities in Penobscot Bay.
