"Painting Pathways" is a non-juried exhibit of art painted at locations familiar or new and  "off the beaten path."  The artists -  Wendy Bellows, Rick Dickinson, Diane Dubreuil, Jim Farnan, Celia Ludwig, Suzanne Marinell, Penny Markley, Cassie Sano, and Fran Scannell - regularly paint outdoors from May through October at  places posted on Facebook: "plein air painters of Maine." 

Subjects range from historic homes, cottagecolonies, or beaches and rocky coasts to gardens, farms and fields inland. Artists and hosts are always suggesting new locations, and the variety grows each year.  Painters are at varying stages of the journey, and as comrades, benefit from shared experience and inspiration.  The only requirement to participate is enthusiasm. Paintings will be available for purchase during the show, and artist donations will benefit the library. Enjoy the art pathways!
