I was looking through my older posts and realize that I did not put one of my new paintings that finished early this year.

"Old Bottles"
Oil on canvas 16"x20"

Most of you already know that I lost my job. The Little Sebago Gallery closed for good and Casco Bay Frames did not work out. It’s hard to predict what will happen in a future, but I’m trying to think positive and looking forward for whatever is coming next. Last few months where insane and I did not have time and energy to paint. Now, while I do not have a job, I will come back to my paint brushes!

Harvest Gold Gallery represents new watercolor miniatures by Varvara Harmon and miniatures by Tom Merriam as well. Stop by for refreshments and a chance to meet the artists! (Also a great time to start a little Holiday shopping!)

Opening Reception:
Date: Friday, November 27, 2009
Time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Harvest Gold Gallery in Center Lovell (Rt 5), Maine
Phone: 207-925-6502

Hello Everyone,
I have some sad news.

The Little Sebago Gallery is going to close for good tomorrow, November 7th. I worked there for almost 7 years. It was a great place to work, meet new people and make new friends. Many of my customers have asked me where I will be working after the gallery in Windham closes. Well as they say, when one door closes, another will open! I will start working at Casco Bay Frames in Portland on November 16th.

This year was very difficult economically for many art galleries. Besides the Little Sebago Gallery, these art galleries have also recently closed – the Lincoln Art Gallery in Lincoln, NH; the Art District Gallery in Boothbay Bay, ME and the Northport Art Gallery in Northport, ME.

Most of my paintings have returned back home and are now available for sale directly from the artist!
I hope everyone is doing well and all are having a good autumn!

I went on the hike up Katahdin Mountain on September 5th. We got so lucky with weather! I took a lot of great photos from this hike. I was so inspired by the beauty of this place, so I started this painting as soon I came back. If you would like to see more photos from this trip please visit “Easy walk up Katahdin” blog at http://katahdincrew.blogspot.com

Last week I received a letter from a publisher that my three paintings “Roses on Silk”, “Yellow Tulips” and “Yellow Cup with Kiwi” will be published in “The Best of America Oil Artists” book that will come out this Autumn. I was very excited to hear this news and decide to share it with you.

The name and the painting itself are still in progress. I was so excited to paint of the views of Chimney Pond after my last hike up Katahdin that I forgot to take pictures of my painting progress from the beginning. I hope to finish this painting by the end of this week.

Just came back from “easy” walk up to Katahdin. I barely can move my legs but I did not regret my decision to hike. It was absolutely gorgeous day. I reach my goal and clime to the top of Saddle trail (above 4500 feet). I hope someday I will recover from my injury and will be able to hike to the top again. The little “paddle” just below my feet is Chimney Pond (2914’). The view was spectacular! See picture below.
