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.

Ceramic Fish Sculptures by Fish in the Garden

"Aluminum Canoe" by Terri Brooks

Garden Fish Stakes by Fish in the Garden

"Trout on Board" by Tom Merriam (who is the king of fishing stories, by the way)

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 you to our Plein Air Event, Saturday August 1st

     

Harvest Gold Gallery would like to extend an open invitation to our annual Plein Air event.  Come see some of our favorite artists in action painting our beautiful scenic view of Kezar Lake and the White Mountains on Saturday August 1^st beginning at 10AM.  

En Plein Air is a French expression that translates to “in the open air”, and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors.  While studio painting creates a fixed and mostly pre-determined outcome, Plein Air painting reproduces the actual visual conditions seen at the time of the painting. Here at Harvest Gold Gallery each new day looking at our majestic view is like looking at a new painting.  The colors of the mountains, clouds, and water are ever changing, providing an ideal backdrop not only for our gallery, but also for our Plein Air event.

This year among the very talented artists joining us will be Kristen Dill, Sandy Bell, Diane Scott, Varvara Harmon and our very own Thea Hart.  You don’t want to miss this event. See you at Harvest Gold Gallery on Route 5 in beautiful downtown Center Lovell beginning at 10AM on August 1^st.  For more information or to participate as a painter please call the gallery at 

(207) 925-6502

Who said work isn't supposed to be fun??

Hello there!

Summer is underway here at the gallery, and Morgan and I are having a blast working craft shows! With three shows under our belts already this season we are really getting the hang of things.We enjoy meeting new faces and seeing familiar ones so much that sometimes we forget we are even working!

Fun with Silly Sticks in North Conway

 It is also quite fun meeting other vendors and seeing the amazing level of craftsmanship on display. We love representing Harvest Gold Gallery, and we get to participate in some events that we otherwise would not have been a part of. From taking center stage at Stone Mountain Arts center to hanging out with the guys from North Woods Law at the Moose Lottery it has already been a great season for fairs, and we're just getting started!

We will be bringing some of Bill and Lynda's exquisite Jewelry, as well as a few pieces of fine art from the gallery. Hopefully Bill makes us lunch again, who knew that a brown bag lunch could be so delicious! Hope to see you there!

Lots of Love, Morgan & Ali
