SUMMARY:Lea Vaughan Feinstein Art Show Opening
DESCRIPTION:“How to Tame a Fox: small works by Lea Feinstein”\nA life-long artist and seasonal Mainer with deep roots in Small Point\, Lea Feinstein (Vaughan) has taught art and design at RISD\, MICA\, Georgetown University\, George Washington University\, and other schools. \nShe has written about art in reviews\, long form articles\, and catalog essays for national print and digital publications (ArtNews\, Art Ltd\, SFWeekly\, Artpractical.com\, DailyServing.com\, and others). \nHer recent (2022-23) studio practice draws on texts from favorite writers\, using the overlapping abstract forms of words and letters to create layered tapestry-like paintings. The current exhibition features small works from this series\, and related pieces in a variety of mediums—meditative abstract paintings\, quiet collages\, and humorous assemblages. \nLea’s art will be exhibited at the Club August 20-August 27.

SUMMARY:Art Show: Candy Barr
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sunday at 4PM \n\nCandy Barr \n \nCandy Barr is a plein air painter whose visual work includes oil paintings on canvas and wood. Her work has been described as “moving” and as being “a true master of color”.   With over 50 years of painting experience she brings a breadth of knowledge of art history\, exquisite skill for color and a deep understanding of what makes paint come to life. She earned her BFA with honors in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, her MAT in lithography from RISD\, and an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College. She has served on the Faculty of Goddard College\, and has taught numerous workshops and courses since 1985. \nSince 1998 Barr has devoted herself to painting full-time\, and actively participates in painting and community building programs. She believes learning is a never ending process and continues her own development through research\, travel\, and regular visits to artists’ studios\, galleries and museums. \n‘My paintings are fresh in color\, light in tone\, and reflect an immediate response to the subjects being painted with a sense of harmony.  I paint quickly and in response to my environment as it constantly changes.  Through this experience working in plein air or from models\, my understanding of the unique aspects of the direction of light\, atmosphere\, and color is perpetually developing. \n“I prefer the time of day when colors are strongest – early and late in the day or when overcast and drizzly. I paint in an array of locations with a broad spectrum of rivers\, fields\, woods\, and of course the mountains.  As an active and prolific painter\, my daily work serves as a ritual through which my sense of place is ensured. \n“Making paintings brings me great pleasure while the unsettled world today contributes to my desire to seek comfort in nature.  I am most comfortable while intensely observing my environment and during the mindful processes of painting it.” \n

SUMMARY:Art Show: Juliet Kirkham
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sunday at 4PM \nI am a self-taught artist\, working out of my studio in Berkeley\, California. I have always been drawn to watercolor\, but learning to use this mercurial and mischievous medium is a recent exploration. I am constantly thrilled with the interplay between water and pigment and the individualistic and often erratic behaviors of watercolor paints. For me\, painting is a practice not a perfect – a constant way to witness and delight in the everyday world around us. \nThe content of this show was inspired by recent visits to the majestic Northern California coast. This rugged\, rocky coastline is home to beautiful wild flowers that bloom in the spring and early summer despite challenging conditions. They are simple and stubborn and worthy of study. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the coastal wildflowers of Northern California.

SUMMARY:Art Show: Hattie Motley
DESCRIPTION:Reception on Sunday at 4PM\n \nHATTIE MOTLEY Artist Statement: \nAs a teenager I started sewing with my sisters making clothes for ourselves on our mother’s sewing machine. Over the years I’ve decorated the places I’ve lived in with many curtains\, bedspreads and pillow covers. It wasn’t until I retired in 2000 that I bought a new computerized sewing machine with an embroidery arm and started taking classes at the local sewing store. From there I made everything from small quilts\, wallets and aprons to zipper pouches\, tote bags and embroidered purses. At Christmas I make most of my gifts on my sewing machine much to the delight of my family and especially my 10-year-old twin great nieces. \nAfter our sewing store closed and with no more inspiration from their classes\, I’ve focused more on tote bags and purses. Although I mostly follow patterns\, I’ve had fun adjusting those patterns by adding zippers and pockets to basic patterns as well as changing sizes to fit a cut out t-shirt front that I use as a focal point. The best part is in choosing the fabrics and colors to make my creations. The challenge is following complicated patterns and adding zippers\, closures and embroidery. \nI sew for fun! It keeps my mind sharp as I follow complicated directions. My perfectionist nature makes for much tearing out when I make mistakes and they are apparent. Despite the hours it takes to make these projects\, the final outcome is what gives me a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure. \nPlease take my creations down or pick them up and look inside to see what I’ve done. They are made with love and care (even my husband Elliot helps) and I hope you will enjoy them. \nHattie Motley Branson\nHatley Bags Unlimited \n   \n  \n

SUMMARY:Art Show: Ned Motley
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sunday at 4PM \n\nNED MOTLEY Artist Statement:  \nI’ve been a lifelong Small Pointer and currently live year round in nearby North Yarmouth. In 2012  I transformed a garden shed on my rural property into a cramped but very cozy and practical studio. I’ve been making functional pottery since high school but started pursuing it as a career in 2003. In ‘05 I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA\, specializing in Craft. I’m inspired and influenced so much by the images and patterns of the natural world that surrounds me. And to me\, there is no other abstract artist who compares to our Mother Nature. I love the control and predictably of throwing symmetrical pottery on a wheel\, and then I get to be more spontaneous and chaotic in my glazing technique. Sort of a reflection of what’s really going on inside my brain! \nNedware Pottery has taken so many forms over the years\, yet it has consistently remained easily identifiable and very functional. I am mostly drawn to function and purpose in my work partly because I find it very grounding when much of my life feels fluid and unpredictable\, but also—I will confess—it can be so challenging and intimidating to venture out into the unknown of form for the sake of form rather than what it can do or be. I’ve had this good thing going and I like it’s predictability and popularity. I do aspire toward exploration and pushing the edge. I also like whimsy and silliness! Yet so often before a show I feel “under the gun” and find the familiar shapes and glazes an easy groove to slide back into. I write this almost 2 months before the actual show date. Will I have the time and motivation to diversify? Stay tuned \n  \n\n \n  \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Art Show: Katie Blair St John
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sunday at 4PM \nKatie Blair St John has spent every summer of her life in Small Point\, breathing in the colors\, composition and atmosphere. \nA great admirer of art from Italian Renaissance to Contemporary\, she foolishly was intimidated from taking painting classes because other students appeared to already know what they were doing. \nLocal painters\, Frank and Phyllis Mason and Mary Ester MacFadyen became her inspiration. In the 50’s and 60’s she’d watch them pick up an old\, wooden shingle and dash off a quick landscape while supposedly watching her gang of cousins swim or climb the rocks. The children felt very special if asked to sit for a portrait. These much loved paintings can be found all over Small Point. \nDuring the winter Katie Blair lives on the Great Marsh in Ipswich\, Massachusetts where there’s a thriving art scene. On her 60th birthday\, almost done with the rigors of work and raising 4 boys\, she began to paint\, first by herself then with artist friends. Now\, 10 years later\, she still paints two days a week Plein Air or from photographs in a studio with these artist mentors. She works in oil and pastel. \nContact info: katieblairstjohn@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Art Show: Jillian Herrigel
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sunday at 4PM \nBorn in Surrey England\, Jillian Herrigel grew up in Northern Virginia spending many home leave holidays touring coastal villages of Britain. Earning a degree in Art History and later a Master in Fine Art Education; she taught art for 14 years in a blue ribbon school district in New Jersey. After having summered for years in a fishing village in Maine\, Jillian changed direction in 2006 from teaching elementary art to work full time as an artist when she purchased a 19th century farm house in Bath\, Maine. Jillian believes a successful work conveys the interaction of her intuitive connection to the scene or idea\, a structure based on a combination of color\, shapes\, line and techniques as well as accidental events. She describes her work as “imaginative realism”. \nEmail: jillianherrigel@gmail.com     Phone: 973.255.7168

SUMMARY:ON HOLD: Art Show: Lea Vaughan Feinstein
DESCRIPTION:PAUSED FOR COVID SAFETY\nReception Sunday at 4PM \nExecuted in vibrant colors\, this series of paintings\, done in Flashe vinyl emulsion on Tyvek and panel\, draws on the rich artistic tradition of text as image. This tradition stretches from medieval illuminated manuscripts and concrete poetry\, to Paul Klee and Bauhaus typography; from Jasper Johns\, Jenny Holzer\, Lawrence Weiner\, and Ed Ruscha to graffiti writers like Retna. In Pages\, Feinstein uses words as pictures. The words are largely drawn from the artist’s own writings—poems from the early 2000s. The layered texts are rendered intentionally illegible\, creating rich tumbled surfaces that ask to be decoded. \nARTIST BIO:\nAn East-coaster transplanted to the West\, Lea Feinstein is an artist\, writer\, and teacher who has worked in a variety of media from bronze casting to performance art. She has taught at RISD\, MICA\, CCA\, Academy of Art SF\, George Washington and Georgetown University. She has written about art for national and local magazines\, and penned a walking tour of Munch’s Oslo for a travel guide. As a friendly gallery director\, she invited visitors to touch the paintings on display—to choose their favorites and the ones they hated most–and to tell her why. \n \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Art Show: Olivia Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Sunday\, August 22\, 4:00pm \nBorn in Philadelphia and currently based in Bath\, Maine\, Olivia G. Hoffman has been painting and drawing since 1994. Olivia has spent her life critically observing her environment and thus honing her skills with oil and acrylic paint in portraiture. More recently\, Olivia has been experimenting with mixed media landscapes of the places she loves most of all — from Hermit Island to Bath\, Maine. \nOlivia is inspired by the complexity and simplicity of natural beauty\, and dedicated to shining a spotlight on the silent\, happy moments; when we disconnect and stare into nature.  \nOlivia is inspired by the attitude of Expressionist Van Gogh\, the color and movement of Impressionist Monet\, and the use of shadow from the great Caravaggio. No matter her medium\, Olivia’s work possesses a painterly\, layered\, ethereal quality that resonates with the viewer and often showcases xher organic process in the finished piece. \nOlivia has been showing her work in galleries from Colorado to Maine and has sold many works. Some of her larger pieces are currently showing at the Think Tank in Portland\, Maine. She is thrilled to join the artist community in Small Point as her style evolves. \n

To listen\, look\, and feel. Taking all that’s around us\, and making. I create abstract expressionist pieces. The subject of which focuses around the philosophy\, emotion\, and social interactions that shape our collective human experience. \n\n“Anatomy” / Acrylic and oil stick / 24×48 / Value – $1200 \n\n\nCandy Barr \n \nCandy Barr is a plein air painter whose visual work includes oil paintings on canvas and wood. Her work has been described as “moving” and as being “a true master of color”.   With over 50 years of painting experience she brings a breadth of knowledge of art history\, exquisite skill for color and a deep understanding of what makes paint come to life. She earned her BFA with honors in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, her MAT in lithography from RISD\, and an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College. She has served on the Faculty of Goddard College\, and has taught numerous workshops and courses since 1985. \nSince 1998 Barr has devoted herself to painting full-time\, and actively participates in painting and community building programs. She believes learning is a never ending process and continues her own development through research\, travel\, and regular visits to artists’ studios\, galleries and museums. \n‘My paintings are fresh in color\, light in tone\, and reflect an immediate response to the subjects being painted with a sense of harmony.  I paint quickly and in response to my environment as it constantly changes.  Through this experience working in plein air or from models\, my understanding of the unique aspects of the direction of light\, atmosphere\, and color is perpetually developing. \n“I prefer the time of day when colors are strongest – early and late in the day or when overcast and drizzly. I paint in an array of locations with a broad spectrum of rivers\, fields\, woods\, and of course the mountains.  As an active and prolific painter\, my daily work serves as a ritual through which my sense of place is ensured. \n“Making paintings brings me great pleasure while the unsettled world today contributes to my desire to seek comfort in nature.  I am most comfortable while intensely observing my environment and during the mindful processes of painting it.” \n \nCandy has donated a book showing 100 of her works painted “alla prima plein air” between 2003 and 2013 in Small Point\, Maine / Value = $50 \n  \n\n\nMartha Baum \n \nMartha Baum draws inspiration for her paintings from the Maine coast\, creating works with a strong sense of place. She incorporates the unique play of light on the coastal landscape and the strong hues found near the ocean into works that depict Maine’s beauty. \nMartha studied drawing\, painting\, and print-making at the Art Students League of Denver from 1987 to 1993. During that time\, she made frequent trips to Maine to paint and gather materials to use in her Denver studio. Eventually\, the pull of Maine’s coast brought her to Bath\, Maine\, where she now lives full-time\, painting locally and on Vinalhaven Island. \nTo see more of Martha’s work\, go to marthabaum.com. \n\n2 Posters /19×13 / Value – $40 each \n\n\nLeslie Belz \n \nTwo of my lifelong passions have been Small Point and photography. I’ve been privileged to spend my summers in SP and always dreamed of making it my full-time home. My mother’s family originally settled near Cox’s Head around 1740\, so Maine is in my DNA. After retiring from working in law firms in the Midwest and West coast\, I decided to reinvent myself. I moved to Phippsburg and am now working on my photography and art. \nMy goal is to share the beauty and tranquility of our surrounding area without disclosing any locations. \nContact info: lbbelz62@gmail.com \n\n“Window” / Photo / Matted size 11×14 / Value – $150 \n\n\nCrissy Cherry \n \nI have been painting all my life\, mostly in oil\, but have moved to acrylics and gouache recently. About 10 years ago I started combining my photographs with digital paint and loved the freedom of digital. I have also done a lot of direct digital painting. I continue to take courses and workshops and always love learning something new. Small Point provides beautiful scenes and light for inspiration for me to try out my latest ideas. Covid gave me the time to develop a website for my digital work. \nContact info: crissydesigns.com \n\n“Gray Skies at the White Rocks” / Photo under acrylic glass / 14.6” x 8” / Value – $400 \n\n\nSumner Crawford \n \nIn 2012\, Sumner bought a drone and strapped a GoPro to it. He quickly realized that his effort to distract from the routine of daily life would become his passion and career. In his time as a professional drone pilot specializing in aerial media\, he has spent countless hours perfecting the precision required to effectively capture the unparalleled views you can only get from a drone. His favorite subjects are vivid sunsets\, the calmness of water creating reflective symmetry with its surroundings\, or hovering atop a subject for a unique and rarely observed top-down point of view. \nSumner resides in Charleston\, SC with his wife Kristin and their dog Essy. Living in the Lowcountry provides a plethora of gorgeous scenery. However\, spending all of his summers in Maine has given him a love for New England\, its weather (goodbye humidity) and the distinctive architecture\, landscaping\, and coastal views that cannot be matched anywhere else. Small Point\, in particular\, is such a beautiful place that the only bad photo you can take is one where you leave the lens cap on or your eyes are closed. When he’s in Small Point\, he can be found hosting Barley Bright\, on the beach with (in his words) the cutest niece and nephew in the world\, on the boat (fishing not-so-much catching)\, or eating at Fat Boy. \nContact info: sumner@aboveallmediallc.com / 540-409-6293 \n\n“Small Point Panorama” / Panorama metal print attached to floating frame / 12×36 /  Value – $175. \n\n\nJane Dahmen \n \nJane Dahmen is a contemporary realist whose recent landscapes explore the trees\, fields\, rivers\, and coastal regions of midcoast Maine. “Walking in the woods\, on the mainland\, on islands\, and along the Damariscotta River near my home\, I see paintings everywhere\,” she says. “My ideas begin in the natural world\, but once a work is underway\, the paint itself on the flat surface takes on a life of its own. Two-dimensional aspects interest me\, and I am as interested in painting what’s in my head as what’s out there. The color\, line\, and surface texture evolve as I work.” The large-scale format of some of her landscapes helps to create an environment into which the viewer can enter. \nJane Dahmen has sold her work at home and abroad\, and one of her paintings hung in the White House in the late 1980s. Graphique de France sold posters of her gouaches all over the world. \nSince 2013\, Jane has hosted “Talking Art in Maine\, Intimate Conversations” at the Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta. These free events are one-on-one live conversations between Dahmen and artists and curators who have contributed substantially to the arts in Maine. Some of her guests have included Mark Bessire of the Portland Art Museum\, Sharon Corwin of the Colby College Museum of Art\, Suzette McAvoy of the Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, as well as artists Alex Katz\, Kathy Bradford\, Eric Hopkins\, Barbara Sullivan\, and many others. \n\nPottery by Alison Lauriat painted by Jane Dahmen. Jane paints the fired pottery with underglazes and Alison then fires them a second time with an over glaze so the bowls are safe for eating and are dishwasher proof  / Value – $200 \n\n\nDrake Family Half Hull \n\n \nDonated by Elena Drake Vandervoort\, who found it in the attic of her family home in Bath. It hung at Sea Winnocks for years. \nMounted as is / 35×11 inches / Value – $250-$300 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\nJean Eberle \n\nThe late Jean Eberle \n“My childhood summers were spent on a small island in Casco Bay\, Maine. We lived in a “remodeled” boat house — a simple structure with a screened-in porch for my bedroom. At night the tide would creep under the pilings of my porch and the rustling of the waves were my lullaby. Oftentimes I was the only child on the island\, so that my playmates were the wild ones of the natural world: crabs\, gulls\, seals. It was a privileged way to live\, free from any constrictions of the civilized world\, placed in a magical mix of fault-laden spaces and endless time…this island experience has stayed with me as the quiet core of my being for it has not mattered where we have lived — be it barren desert or congested city — I have always known that the tides still rise and fall and that the sky is a palette of stars at night…It is this sense of life\, the life of the natural world\, that I have tried to capture in my paintings. There is a spark to be found within nature that transcends the visual. It reaches the deeper mystery of inner space. To me this is the magic of creation. \nAlthough like most artists I have explored the abstract and impressionistic styles\, I remain a traditionalist…I prefer the richness of oils\, but also enjoy the challenges of lighter medium: watercolor\, gouache.” \nContact info: diane.eberle@icloud.com \n\n“Beach from the Club” / Oil /  28X22 / Value –  $450\nDonated by Diane and Speedy Eberle \n\n\nRoger Farrington \n \nBoston-based photographer Roger Farrington’s 40-year career spanned commercial\, corporate\, and special event publicity photography\, His work has been exhibited in many galleries\, including New York\, Boston\, Chicago\, Liverpool\, Martha’s Vineyard\, and Tokyo. He was represented by Panopticon Gallery\, and his images are in the Boston Public Library’s Private Collections and in many private collections. \nContact info: roger@rogerfarrington.com \n\n“Fall Colors\, Small Point” / 2020 / Print: Archival pgment from digital file / 14×12\, matted & framed / Value – $200-250 \n\n\nLea Feinstein \n \nAn East-Coaster transplanted to the West\, Lea Feinstein is an artist\, writer\, and teacher who has worked in a variety of media from bronze casting to performance art. She has taught at RISD\, MICA\, CCA\, Academic of Art SF\, George Washington\, and Georgetown University. She has written about art in national and local magazines and online publications. Her art work is in many university and private collections. \nFor 20 years\, Feinstein had made her art with Tyvek\, an industrial material made of high-density polyethylene\, not paper or canvas. She was attracted to the resilience and pliability of the material. Over time\, she has vigorously and persuasively explored its artistic potential – painting\, folding\, dyeing\, crimping\, and crumpling it — to create a wide variety of two- and three-dimensional works. \nHer recent wall-sized paintings in acrylic on Tyvek engage the forms and colors of Californinia’s native succulents\, mediated and influenced by the rhythms and tensions of urban L.A. In scale and subject they echo ancient wall paintings. In the context of global warming\, the celebrate the fragility and durability of living forms\, reminders of nature’s resilience and remarkable inventiveness. \nContact info: leafeinstein@gmail.com \n\n“Blue Succulent on a Red Ground” / 2021 / gouache on paper mounted on birch panel /16 x16″ x1 / Value – $350 \n\n“Morning” by Lea Feinstein \n\n“Evening” by Theodora Page \n“Morning and Evening” / Decorative room screen\, original painting in acrylic on panel / 66×66 (open) / Value – $1250 \n  \n\n\nDoug Foltz \n\nI find peace in nature and great energy in curiosity\, exploration\, and discovery-of any kind. I am fascinated with water and light and believe that composition is king. \nI create images that are less about the way a place looks as they are about the way it feels. I know there is great beauty in both expanse and detail\, and I work hard to nurture the creative spirit in this world. \nBorn and raised by rebellious New England parents in Miami\, Florida. Bachelors of Environmental Design – Auburn University; Bachelors of Architecture – Auburn University. Thirty seven years in creative and management roles as architect\, graphic designer\, painter\, photographer\, branding and visual communication consultant. Newly living full time in Santa Rosa Beach\, Florida with Alexia and airdale Stella. Working from studios in Santa Rosa Beach and Atlanta\, Georgia with regular sessions on the southeast Georgia and Central Maine coasts. \nContact info: saltcruststudios.com \n\n“Finding The Familiar” / Oil / 40×40 \n\n\nBen Foster  \nUPDATE: After serious consideration the auction committee has withdrawn the Ben Foster painting donated by Astrid Williams and the Estate of Arthur F. Williams. When Astrid gave the painting to the Club\, she stated that it could remain at the Club or be put up for auction. But once it was hung in the living room adjacent to our beloved “View of Small Point Beach” by Joseph Ropes\, another painterly son of Small Point\, it became clear to all in attendance that the Foster painting should remain at the Club. \nSo we announce here that the Ben Foster seascape once headed for the auction block will remain at the Club. The committee understands that by keeping the painting we are missing an opportunity to raise funds for the Club. Down the road\, we want to consider carefully how to make this happen. So stay tuned – it certainly would be a nice 125th birthday present in 2022!  \n___ \nBorn in Maine in 1852\, Ben Foster began his artistic studies at age 30 at the Art Students League in New York City\, where he studied under Abbott Thayer. In 1886 and 1887\, Foster journeyed to Europe and studied with Aime Morot in Paris. When he returned\, Foster settled in Cornwall Hollow\, Connecticut and began painting the New England countryside. He was a noted exponent of tonalism\, an artistic style that emerged in the 1880s and is characterized by soft\, diffused light\, muted tones\, and hazily outlined objects\, all of which imbue the works with a strong sense of mood. Foster was a member of the American Watercolor Society\, the National Academy of Design\, and the New York Watercolor Society. In 1920s’ Europe\, he was considered one of America’s top contemporary artists. \nFoster also had particular ties to the Club. When he was elected to membership in 1911\, he offered the Club a painting in lieu of cash for his share: it is the large view of the river and beach at high tide which hangs near the front door. Foster loved staying at the Club and was immensely popular. \nFrom his 1926 obituary in the minutes of the 1926 Club meeting: \n“So\, while the great world\, so markedly separate from us here in Small Point\, will feel his loss because of what it means to the expression of beauty and dignity and ideal in colour\, all those of us here who knew him will mourn the passing of a rare spirit and a valued friend.  \nThus\, then\, that place on the “Other Side”\, so all containing\, so all-peopled\, so mysterious\, now holds in its warm embrace another spirit\, who may flower there also in his art\, supremely\, as he now visions beauties that are beyond the power of earthly man to portray.”  \n– Excerpt from Centennial History of the Small Point Club\, 1897-1997 by Tom Hinkle \n\n“Cliff Walk” / Oil / 18×22 without frame / Value – $5000\nDonated by the estate of Arthur Williams \n\nthe late Arthur Williams\, an admirer of Foster’s and his many paintings of the coast of Maine \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\nHodie Hazard \n \nI have always loved painting portraits\, by which I mean I turn most subjects into objects\, animate or not\, with personalities. Since painting portraits of people takes more energy than I have had recently\, I have focused more and more on birds and lemons\, the latter of which have amazingly disparate personalities. \nMy painting In the auction is titled “Just Keep Walking.”  I am fascinated while walking on the beach by all the young seagulls who squawk incessantly at\, I assume\, their parents\, who eagerly run away. In this time when my particular cohort is busy doting on our grandchildren\, it strikes me as something to which I must give serious thought. The two seagulls in my painting were getting such treatment from a young one running towards them\, of course squawking. I imagined the conversation to be\, “Uh oh\, here he/she comes\,” to which the other responded\, “Just keep walking.” \nContact info: hodiehazard@yahoo.com \n\n“Just Keep Walking” / Oil / 24×36 unframed / Value – $400 \n\n\nJillian Herrigel \n \nAn accomplished painter in multiple mediums\, Jillian was born in England and grew up in Virginia. Jillian spent many childhood summers returning to England and touring its coastal villages. Visiting Maine for the first time in college\, her love for the coast was reignited. Jillian has since remained strongly connected to the coast\, moving to Maine full time in the early 2000s. Jillian’s work is strongly influenced by her dual coastal connection. By combining unique colors and shapes\, her art tells a story of how individual objects interact with and blend with their coastal landscapes. Jillian has a masters in fine arts education and taught elementary school for 15 years in New Jersey. With a husband\, 3 children and at times 3 dogs\, Jillian enjoys an active lifestyle. Her art is currently on display at the Centre Street Art Gallery in Bath\, Thos Moser Gallery in Freeport\, and the East Village Gallery in West Point. \nContact info: jillianherrigel@gmail.com \n\n“Gather on the Porch” / Mixed media / 20×20 / Value – $350 \n\n\nTom Hinkle \n \nTom Hinkle had his first one-person exhibit at the Small Point Club in 1994.  He has had them here almost every year since\, and has one planned for the week of August 15th.  Works will include coastal scenes\, city scenes\, and architectural subjects. Tom is a Member artist at Centre Street Arts Gallery in Bath. He likes to restore historic houses when not painting pictures. \nContact info: hinklepaint@aol.com \n  \n  \n  \n\n“The Bend” / Oil on canvas / 12×16 framed / Value – $300 \n\n\nOlivia Hoffman \n \nBorn in Philadelphia and currently based in Bath\, Maine\, Olivia Hoffman has been painting and drawing since 1994.

In addition to a recently completed Percent For Art Commission of four large paintings for the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta\, Maine\, Margaret’s work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout the United States . Her paintings are developed by removing paint as much by applying it\, a process that yields rich and varied surfaces and colors. \n“My family has rented Libby Hills’ house for a number of years.  I don’t know a more spectacular spot to watch the tide come in and out.” \nContact info: margaretlawren@gmail.com \n\n“Tide Watch” / Oil on panel / 10×10 / Value – $800 \n\n\nArden Mason \n“The job of the painter is to go beyond the mere recording of the details in the scene before them\, to create a moment that might open the viewer’s frame of mind and take them to a new place” –  A.H.M \nArden Mason is a plein air painter who works primarily in oils. Born in Manhattan in 1956 to Frank and Phyllis Harriman Mason\, both noted painters\, Arden now resides in Boston\, MA. \nAt 16\, Arden moved to Lacoste\, France to study Stone Carving in Lacoste Art School. He spent four years studying under many renowned artists in both Europe and America before joining the circus. Following his time on stilts and tightropes with Circus de Human\, Arden returned to New York City to study at the Art Students League under Frank Mason. \nThe landscape and seascape paintings of Arden’s are reflective of his time spent in the British Isles\, the Caribbean\, Central and South America\, the American West\, and New England\, particularly the Maine Coast. His work has been shown in numerous venues including Boston City Hall\, Thomas Moser Gallery\, the Salmagundi Club\, the Art Students League\, the Vermont Art League\, Yale University\, and the Small Point Club. \nIn the tradition of the plein air paintings of the Hudson River School\, Arden is particularly interested in capturing the infinite interplay of light\, shadows\, atmosphere\, and weather in the landscape. There is nothing Arden loves better than to paint outdoors in a hurricane or blizzard. His work tells us something about the harmonious and often fleeting relationship of nature to our lives. \nContact info: ardenmason@aol.com \n\nOil / 24×18 / Value – $2500 \n\n\nMarie-Louise Petri \n\nEducated at Amherst College (Fine Arts and English major)\, Philadelphia College of Art\, Boston University School of Fine Arts\, and Vermont Studio School\, Weezie lives in Carlisle\, MA. maintains a studio at the Umbrella Center for the Arts in Concord\, MA\, and has a seasonal house in Lincolnville\, ME. \n“I chose to paint the cliff wall on the beach as my subject because I love the massive quality of the cliff\, the strong lights and darks\, the light on the vegetation growing on and between the rocks and cliff\, the rock ledge spilling out near the shore\, and the waves gently lapping the rocks.  When I started painting\, it was high tide\, a warm\, still\, sunny day in mid-June.\nIt is nice to think that this massive rock formation has been a solid foundation supporting the club\, its people\, its functions and all the associated memories and feelings — of people gathered together over the years — a place of community\, joy\, family time\, rest\, and to some\, a coming home.” \nContact info:  mlbp_100@att.net / 978-729-2827 \n\n“Cliff Wall at Small Point Club” / Pastel on paper /  22 1/4″ x 18 3/4″ framed / Value – $550 \n\n\nCharles Shurcliff \n \nAn Ipswich native born in Beverly\, MA\, Charles Shurcliff started drawing during the Roosevelt administration. He spent twenty years learning the fundamentals of seeing and painting from his grandfather\, Cape Ann painter Charles Hopkinson. He studied figure drawing for four years with Morton Saks\, and art history for eight years in college and graduate school. \nMr. Shurcliff was a frequent visitor at the Club\, which is the proud possessor of two of his works\, which flank the corner to the left of the living room piano.\n\n“Shell Beach” / 2012 / Framed print / 26×20 / Value – $350.\nDonated by Diane and Speedy Eberle \n\n\nKatie Blair St. John \n \nA self-taught landscape artist\, Katie Blair St John works in oil and pastel. She regularly paints collaboratively with artist friends who act as mentors.  The coast of Maine and marshes of Massachusetts are her inspiration. \nContact info: katieblairstjohn@gmail.com \n\n“White Rocks” / Framed pastel / 10×13 / Value – $250 \n\n\nAndrew St. John \n \nI paint things that are familiar and important to me – an emotional connection to a subject adds a layer of interest both for me and the viewer. I am early in my exploration of the watercolor medium and I’m excited by its infinite possibilities. \nContact info: astjohn@smith-stjohn.com \n\n“The Fleet Returning from Flag Island” / Framed watercolor / image size 10×14 / Value – $250 \n\n\nKevin Sudeith \n \nKevin Sudeith’s modern petroglyphs and their documentation in various media lay the groundwork for an intricate temporal map of relationships spanning from coast to coast. The work exists within layers of relationships and simultaneously within layers of temporal significance: the length of a human life\, the durability of paper\, the seemingly infinite lifespan of an immovable stone. \nSudeith’s petroglyphs capture our fleeting human lives while the prints act as a kind of middling agent between these two frames of time: geological and the span of a human life. His body of work develops with the addition of each new rock carving\, becoming a more complete portrait of our world and time. As Sudeith adds new rocks and documentation to the database\, he create a more intricate piece spanning diverse local communities over great distances. \nContact info: sudeith@gmail.com \n\n“Cardinal” / Impression made from the artist’s petroglyph in Phippsburg\, ME in 2019 / Acid-free archival paper\, artist’s pigments / 13×20\, not framed / Value – $1500 \n\n“Lobster” / Impression made from artist’s petroglyph in Weekapaug\, RI in 2012 /\nAcid-free\, archival paper\, artist’s pigments / 20×26\, not framed / Value – $2250 \n\n\nJohn Whipple \n \nI have been inspired by nature and motivated by the unexpected amount of socially-distant free time that fell upon all of us in the last year. While I am used to designing larger things — houses in Small Point\, a medical office in Topsham\, a parking garage in Biddeford — the smaller scale of things that you can build with your hands has always appealed. Making sculptural lights offers immediate gratification. They can be built in a short time and come with no danger of leaking roofs or sagging beams. Sometimes I model them on a computer\, complete with specified wood and glass types and a light source of a certain color and intensity\, then render them in glorious pixels. More often\, I sketch them by hand on the wood and paper they are to be made of and cut out the pieces and assemble them\, then discard them\, then modify the design\, then build again. As often as I want. They can recall clouds or sails or ships or trees. Best of all\, when you plug them in\, they light up — a perfect marriage of art and function! \nContact info: john@whipplecallender.com \n \nThis table lamp (16″ high) answers a list of self-imposed parameters: \nBase supports the shade (no wire frame) – made of as few pieces as possible – form has movement – references sailing – materials are mostly organic (oak and plasticized rice paper) – can deconstruct and ship in a flat box – cut from a 4’ board w/o much waste – puts out enough light to read “Live Yankees” on a November night \nValue – $350 \n\n\nTim Woolsey \n \nTim completed his doctorate in piano performance in 1976 and for 35 years taught undergraduate and graduate piano at Texas State University in San Marcos\, Texas. He has concertized extensively and performance venues have included the National Gallery of Art\, the Phillips Collection\, and Shatin Town Hall in Hong Kong. He was named Professor Emeritus in 2009. \nTim has had a deep interest in art since childhood and is in the process of donating an extensive collection of work on paper to the School of Art and Design at Texas State. He began taking art lessons eight years ago after retiring from Texas State and began doing portraiture five years ago. Having studied the portraits of Diego Velazquez\, Rembrandt\, and other great portraitists all his life\, he tries to capture the “life behind the eyes” of each of the people he has painted. He has painted commissioned portraits of people who live in Austin as well as people met during various trips: Kenya\, Great Britain\, Spain\, France. He has participated in shows sponsored by the Austin Pastel Society and has won top prizes from that organization three times including First Prize for Portraiture in 2017 and 2019.

Art\, pottery\, textiles\, Club logo merchandise\, and more will be on sale. \nNed Motley returns with his Nedware\, pieces formed from stoneware mostly on an electric potters wheel and “bisqued” in an electric kiln at very high heat which hardens the piece. \nDana Burton and Avery Smith will be once again offering textiles of alpaca & linen. \nOlivia Hoffman will be back with her driftwood collages.
