Wiscasset show a family tribute to artist
Tue, 10/15/2019 - 7:45am

At Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset Oct. 5, two brothers shared their late mother’s art in a setting different from where most of her works appeared. Woolwich’s Tommy Davis and Peter Davis of Virginia said their mother Ardyth Davis (1930-2015) worked on commission. So the works, many inspired by the Maine coast where the family summered, tended to go to corporations, not galleries, they said. “So it’s fabulous seeing all these pieces in one space,” Peter Davis said. At the opening reception for “...

Best shot: Scanography by Mike Leonard
Fri, 10/11/2019 - 7:00am

Fall is upon us in the Northeast. It’s the time of year when we get to see the brilliant colors of foliage and the red, orange and yellow colors make for wonderful subjects to photograph. Getting even closer can make for some very interesting and rewarding captures. Using a macro lens, or the “flower” mode on some cameras, will help you to close focus to an individual leaf where you can capture intricate and beautiful, one of a kind patterns – some that almost look like a road map. There is...

Andrew Wyeth: ‘Witches, Ghosts and Mischief’
Sun, 10/06/2019 - 7:15am

At the end of each summer Andrew Wyeth engaged with Maine’s shifting seasons. Responding to the annual cycle of death and rebirth, Wyeth blended carefully observed details with his imagination and memory.

Now through March 1, 2020, Andrew Wyeth’s exhibition, “Witches, Ghosts and Mischief” is on display at the Farnsworth. “Oftentimes people...

Where It’s At ... Robert Mitchell’s ‘Something Simple’
Wed, 10/02/2019 - 11:00am

In answer to that burning question: Does Bob Mitchell name his cameras like musicians name their guitars? The answer is ... no. Despite this seeming lack of affection for the tools of his trade, Mitchell’s affection for the subjects of his photographs is palpable. Distinctively “Mitchell” — no matter the subject — wherever he directs his focus, the innate energy within is exposed and preserved forever. For oh, six or seven years now, Mitchell has written a column about a photo of a place or...

‘SUBTLE’: An exhibition of drawings by Brenda Bettinson
Wed, 09/25/2019 - 2:00pm

Drawing is among the most subtle of the visual arts. Executed in monochrome more often than not, drawings can convey texture, age, location or scale of a subject without recourse to either color or impasto surfaces. The subtlety of drawings may be thought of as silent, in contrast to the full orchestral range and scale of most paintings and sculptures. By means of line and/or monochromatic shading the artist’s work can seem to breath out toward the viewer. This interaction can be more...
