Kennebunkport, beautiful...

What a day! Thank you to everyone who came out to Craft Fair on the Green. Art, crafts, jewelry, watercolor, pottery and more. Such a pleasant day... it was so great to see familiar faces and make new friends. Also, thank you to the volunteers with School Around Us.... really a wonderful group of people. They helped with unloading and loading, they made food, they asked for evaluations, they were there from 6:30 in the morning until 5:30 (and maybe beyond). This was their 37th annual fair... and I am sure this well-run event took them months of prep. Mark your calendar now for next year... first Saturday in July. You can have lunch in Kennebunkport, see the shops, boats, and then stop in to the fair before getting a delicious cone of New-England-made icecream. Can you tell I would rate this day A+? :-)

Trees on the Hill...

SOLD "Trees on the Hill" 30x40 original on canvas. Oh, sweet and sad. Sometimes when I "groove" on the colors SO much, I get attached. Red, yellow oxide, light greens, hot orange (love them). When I painted it, I was free, and light... and only putting marks down that "felt right"... a really organic process. This painting was at my favorite shop in Exeter, The Willow. It is now with its new owner. A cute story about how people relate to abstract comes with this painting... The purchaser's spouse wanted to know what the red areas in the painting represent. She told him  - "outhouses". I guess that was enough. Thank you J.C.. I love the story.

Going to 3 on Main...

Tuesday I head to charming Contoocook, NH to a little shop called "3 on Main". I'm taking a collection of art in for Marie, Katherine, and Judy, the owner's, who will add it to the explosion of color and unique items in which they surround themselves.... right up my alley :-). Go to my "exhibits and shows" page for location and contact info. 

 

7/5/2012 Update....Just had to add this interior picture after the original post... the trip to Contoocook made me feel like I was right at home :-). LOVE the color at 3 on Main.... what a cute shop.
