"Art in the Barn Barn" (Framed)

Art in the Barn Barn
8x8
oil on panel
Natural Maple Contemporary Frame
$190

This time is perfect for this painting! Tomorrow, my friend Barb Harrold and I are traveling to Cushing, Maine (near Rockland, ME) for "Art in the Barn" a two person show in this lovely barn pictured in the painting. It is on the grounds of the Cushing Historical Society. Cushing is where the whole pink chair project started, just last year, in June, when I stayed there to paint. We will have a reception on Friday, and be open all day Saturday and Sunday. I will be showing my whole pink chair suite, along with all of the new paintings that I did this June in Maine. Barb will be showing her soft sculpture creatures, puppets, and hats, and she will have her sewing machine set up so she can demonstrate her techniques. I put 6000 steps on my pedometer just packing my car.

Framed "Hancock Wharf"

Hancock Wharf
12x12
Oil on Canvas
Gold Frame
$375

Now I am moving up the coast and going to one of my (sort of) local painting spots. I just love this spot in York, Maine. The building pictured is the museum at the John Hancock Wharf, where he did his business. Nearby is the George Marshall Store. This is a historic building - the original store that sold the goods that came in to be unloaded onto the Hancock wharf, and other items. Now it is a wonderful contemporary art gallery, showing rising and established regional artists. Both of these sit on the banks of the York river, a lovely setting with a big wide dock. All this 40 minutes from my home!I have painted here several times.

This is my favorite breakfast place in Rockport. When I go there I love to go very early and get a good free parking spot! So after I arrive, I treat myself to breakfast at the Red Skiff. All your favorites. This is a plein aire painting. Luckily, I painted this before all the cars parked in front!

I thought maybe you were getting bored with all those skies so it's time to see another line of my art. Bearskin Neck is the famous shopping street in Rockport, Massachusetts. Lots of really quaint shops, many flowers, shoppers,lobster and clams, strudel, ice cream, and sea views.
