The juried exhibit and sale is 9/18 - 10/31 at 317 Main Community Music Center which is open Mon - Fri, 10 AM - 6 PM. Reception is Friday, 10/2, 5 - 7PM.
If you can't make it to this part of Maine in the next week or so, I have one word as further encouragement for you to visit....A U T U M N!
PS If you do visit the show take a little longer to scoot around the corner up to 720 Route 1 and visit Yarmouth Frame and Gallery www.yarmouthframeandgallery.com where you can see several more examples of my paintings along with those of a whole bunch of great artists. Tell Beth or Lee I sent you.
Take care.
