Maine Treasures Art Prints

I met many wonderful people yesterday at the Winthrop Art Festival, including Tina Burgess Robbins, who took some very stunning photographs of an eagle earlier this summer. Once I saw her photographs, I immediately knew I had to paint this eagle. Thank you Tina for allowing me to use one of the images as reference to produce this watercolor painting. As an added bonus, Tina stopped by my booth yesterday to see the finished painting in person, and purchased a print of it. I plan on creating another painting from her photos, so stay tuned!

Good Morning from downtown Winthrop Maine as we get underway with this year’s Winthrop Art Festival. You can’t miss me, I’m on the sidewalk, front and center, right across from the post office on Main Street. Come on down, browse the amazing artwork from many different artists and crafters. Maybe purchase a Consuelo Eames Hanks limited edition print, or sign up to have your pet’s portrait painted. Both make great gifts (and the holidays are right around the corner)! So stop on by, say Hi, and buy, buy, buy!

We are up and running today at the South Portland Art in the Park at Millcreek Park, South Portland, Maine. It’s turned out to be a great day, the Weather has cleared, people are walking about, enjoying the sunshine! So get your buns in gear and get down here, deah (as they say in the proper Maine dialect)!

Tomorrow is the day! The South Portland Art in the Park is happening 9am-4pm. The forecast is calling for the rain to be over by opening time and a beautiful day is in store! We’ll be in our normal spot next to the judges tent. Stop by to check out my late mom’s limited edition prints, both pencil and watercolor, all signed and numbered by the artist. Check out my original watercolors and prints, or prints of my late father’s watercolors, again signed and numbered by the artist. You can also sign up to have your pet, or a loved one’s pet, immortalized in a hand painted portrait! I can’t wait to see you at Millcreek Park, South Portland, Maine!

Cant wait for the Winthrop Art Festival in August 17. Thank you for the shout out Winthrop Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce.
