Gone Fishing

"Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after"

~Henry David Thoreau

Hello from Harvest Gold! While the gallery keeps us very busy in the summer, we still take some time for the important things in life, like fishing. Kezar Lake and its surrounding bodies of water offer some of the best fishing around, and it is our favorite way to get outside and enjoy the beautiful place in which we are so lucky to live. 

Our love of fishing is clearly exhibited and reflected in several different mediums in our gallery. Take a look at just a few of the beautiful examples our artists have created.

So next time you are wishin' you were fishin', pack up your rods and tackle boxes and head to Center Lovell. Stop by the gallery first and take a look for yourself at our amazing fish art. We can share some fishing stories (we have a few that you won't believe), and maybe we will even fill you in on our favorite secrets spots and techniques. 

"If more people concentrated on the really important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles". We believe this with all our hearts. 

Happy fishing from Harvest Gold!

Welcoming Summer at Harvest Gold

Hello!!

It finally feels like summer here in Center Lovell, and we couldn't be more excited! We have been busy like bees putting up all of our new paintings, unpacking new items, and setting up our garden sculptures. The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the sun is (mostly) shining. Here are a few shots of all of Bill's hard work on our gardens.

The outside of our gallery looks great, but the inside is simply stunning. Stop by and see what's new! Just a reminder that our Open House Artist Reception is Friday July 10th, from 3pm to 6pm. Look for an upcoming blog post with more details.

 We can't wait to see you!!

Shopping in Philadelphia

We went to Philadelphia last week to see what  is new at the Buyers Market of American Crafts. Its fun to see some city life after being in the Maine woods.

 A walk from our hotel takes us through Redding Market and terminal and on into the convention center filled with artists and their works.

 Lynda and I found Don Drumm and Cricket Forge sculpture exhibit and got to talk with Don and staff about his work. We've carried their work in the gallery for 16 years. Both companies offer artistic sculpture for indoors and outdoors. Don Drumm uses Francis Vega's Cricket Forge shop to make some of his designs. He creates whimsical sculpture and functional kitchen wares. Francis's work is more representational designs in metal for the garden and home.

 We also visited with Diane Kline at the show. Her acrylic floral paintings are featured in our gallery, and at Arabica coffee shop in Portland Maine. Diane,s "Poppies" is a beautiful impression, giving the feeling of spring just around the corner.

  Diane has some new figure paintings on exhibit at the show this year.
 We spent three days looking over the show ordering new items from familiar artists and discovering new artists to present at Harvest Gold Gallery in 2013.

 See you again Phili :)

Stop by Harvest Gold gallery whenever you are in beautiful downtown Center Lovell, overlooking Kezar Lake and the White Mountains.
