Maine Lobster Festival

Two of my paintings will be displayed at the Maine Lobster Fair Juried Art Show!
I am so happy to have begun my association with the Festival. It is next door in Rockland. Easy access for me and I get to meet more of my artist community members. All the artists I’ve met since moving to Owls Head have been so friendly and happy to share their knowledge and experiences.

Here are the two paintings that will be part of the show.
Be sure, if you go to the Lobster Festival, to stop in at the Camden National Bank, on the corner of Main Street and Route 1.

Love to hear from you.

WHEN: Friday, July 12, 2019

Join us.

Have a glass of wine, a few goodies and lets chat about art—everyone's art. All artists participating usually attend the opening.
We artists will be happy to speak with anyone interested in art. 
Why not?
We spend most of our time sequestered to a studio, staring at a blank piece of paper, canvas, block of malleable material, etc., entrancing music in the background.
Thougts of food, lunch, dinner, breakfast slip by without a hitch until Hubby comes in.
"Have your decided what we'll have for:

 A. breakfast 

B. lunch 

C. dinner 

D. other?

A daily multiple-choice for which I sometimes earn a gold star.

For those who can't make the opening, the artwork will be on display July 12 until August 10, 2019. So come then and bring family and friends.
