==Family life==
Perkins was adopted by Joel and Martha Perkins and was raised in Castine, Maine. Biographers speculate that the military presence in Castine led Perkins to paint maritime scenes. When asked about where he learned to paint, Perkins replied, ''"I've always been painting, ever since I was a child. I guess I taught myself."'' After painting for a few years, Perkins received formal training at the Portland School of Fine Arts in nearby Portland, Maine.〔
Perkins first experimented with oil paint when seven years old after watching his father and Donald, his older brother, painting landscapes where they lived. Perkins spoke of his first painting: ''"My first painting was when I was seven and was of a four mast sailing ship, which I copied from a large painting. I used oils on that first painting and it was a horrible looking thing. I sold it to a woman vacationer at Castine for 25 cents and I felt rich."''〔
At age eighteen, Perkins enlisted in the Navy. After two years of service, at age twenty, he enrolled in the Portland School of Fine Arts. There he studied under Alexander Bowers. Throughout his first two years of schooling, he supplemented his GI allowance by working at a fish factory in Portland and by lettering signs.〔
