13th Annual Artist Reception and Open House

A SUCCESS!

Last Friday, the 11th, we had our 13th annual Artist Reception and Open House, which turned out to be a great success. We had several artists around the gallery including Tom Merriam, Murad Sayen, Nancy Trider, Rebecca Klementovich, Guy Tringali, and author Robin Taylor-Chiarello mingling with our guests. Everyone loved the wine and sparkling water, and homecooked hors d'oeuvres made by Bill and our helpers.

All new original art available from artist Thomas Merriam

Plein Air Celebration!

This past Saturday and Sunday was a flash of color 

in a flash of time. 

Four local Plein Air artists came out to play and paint

in the beautiful foliage of New England, in Lovell, Maine.

Diane Scott lead the Artists with her many years of painting in the open air under her belt. The artists settled into their spots around the town of Lovell, some overlooking the lovely Kezar Lake, others by local attractions around town. 

Each artist brought the beauty out through the brush strokes.  

After a day of painting on Saturday, the artists finished, framed, and present their work to us here at Harvest Gold. 

Then on Sunday, the Gallery was opened to the public, to enjoy the works and have wine and cheese and a lovely evening all around.  We have four paintings on display now from the paint out.  

Look for more events coming up and contact us at

Ann Sklar at Harvest Gold Gallery

Ann Sklar, local Maine artist has new work in Harvest Gold Gallery! This abstract painter has had her works shown in over fifteen exhibitions, has art in Galleries from Maine to Florida, and has experience in many different fields of the arts. After studying at Arcadia University, Temple University, and Pennsylvania State University, Ann went on to be completely involved in Galleries, as co-founder, co-owner, design and development, member and partner of over four Galleries.

Ann is newly becoming recognized in the larger Artist community. Doing consignment pieces, she finds inspiration from not only the world around her, but the pictures in her mind, she speaks of it, “After many years of painting close up, realistic images I now think that my best paintings are the unplanned ones.   They emerge by some kind of instinctive feeling and are often nonobjective.  I play with the colors and forms until they work together, often applying layer after layer of paint.  When completed they can be quiet landscapes, still lives, or simply shapes and forms.” 

Ann’s paintings give a subtly surreal atmosphere to any nook or cranny. Her imagery lights up purple horizons, and splits light and dark into shades and colors she can’t help but to lay on canvas. Please stop by Harvest Gold Gallery on Route 5 in Center Lovell, Maine. 

See her beautiful works and check out the rest of all that the Gallery has to offer!
