“Experiencing Freeport Maine- Showing Our Town Through Art” finally ends with the Auction on Friday night [12/5/2009] at Freeport Square Gallery ,140 Main Street, in Freeport at 7 pm. This has been a fun ‘ride” …my first grant experience and also a learning experience. What did I learn? It is good to stretch and try your wings once in a while…..and that I CAN do bigger paintings in my tiny loft studio.
“Freeport Heroes” casein on canvas 4′ x 4′
Our eldest son is a Portland, Maine fireman…so to honor him, and all firemen… I chose to depict Freeport’s firemen circa the 1940’s. I put their ladder truck in a 1940’s parade down Main Street and in front of the old L.L.Bean building. The scene is a figment of my imagination, a compilation of old photos and imaginary people. It was a stretch.
It was fun and hopefully someone can relate to it and imagine it hanging on their wall!!
And it better be a big wall!!!
Hope to see you there!
