Studio Tour July 18th and 19th in Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island, NB and nearby downeast area

Check out some of our local artists:   I will be in Lubec at Artists Retreat Studios & Gallery and Michael Chesley Johnson will be manning Friar's Bay Studio Gallery on Campobello Island.  Come and visit and learn and buy!  These kaleidoscopes are from a recent visit to Eastport, Maine on the Tarquin.

Oh what a Difference a Day Makes!

Have you ever had the experience where things were humming along and all of the sudden a decision made by someone else rearranges your life and you have no control over it?  Well that is where we are at, so we will push forward, redo my plans, and move on.  In the meantime, creating kaleidoscopes has a calming effect.  At least we were lucky, relatively speaking, with the hurricane damage we suffered.  It has not been a good week so I am looking forward to next week being better...it generally is.

Flowers, Rocks and the Geometry of Nature

Campobello Island is well known for it's beautiful beach "cobbles".  I have a garden at Friar's Bay Studio Gallery where I use cobbles as "Campobello mulch".    Today is another busy day of renovation at the Artists Retreat Studios & Gallery, so here are three quick kaleidoscopes I created with seasonal flowers in my garden.

More Fiddleheads and Gallery Opening

We had our Gallery opening on May 25th for the 2013 season of http://friarsbaygallery.com/.  This is our 8th season!  We actually sold a small painting to a student of Michael's who took a one day workshop in Sedona, but has recently moved to Maine!  The weather was pouring, but it was still good to be back in business on Campobello Island.  Please stop by and see us.  Until July 1st, we open when we feel like there might be customers in the area.  However, you can always call us or drop us an email and we are happy to provide a private viewing during the month of June.  In July and August we have regular afternoon hours(Tuesday-Saturday) from 1-6PM Atlantic Time after http://www.paintcampobello.com/ morning workshops with http://www.michaelchesleyjohnson.com/.

I took lots of fiddlehead pictures on our one day of sun last week! The colors of spring foliage are magnificent!  Please respect my copyright to images.  If you would like a print of one of my kaleidoscopes, they are for sale framed or unframed.  Contact me for pricing.
