Rust-Reflections-III 5×5 Oil on Canvas with Gold Leaf Edge

Painting for me is both an extension and outgrowth of and a form of expression of this love of the land that I roamed as a boy and young man through the cornfields near home or the idle summer afternoons spent gazing at the wondrous forms the winds shaped for our joy and pleasure if we took the few moments time to look up at the skies, to reach for the skies with our soul in the process, literally and metaphorically and be completely in and of the moment, chewing on a stalk of wild grass picked from a field along the way, tasting the bittersweet juice. I try to convey this sense of place, of The American Place, whether it is a farm barn pasture field with a working barn or a lobster shack along a wharf at the rugged rocky coast of Maine or a once fish shack weathered that now serves as a summer residence at the water’s edge for some lucky person or family on the soft hot sandy beaches of Cape Cod. I try to convey that moment of joy and presence through the scenes of my paintings, without intention for nostalgia or sentimentality, realizing though that those elements are inherent in those ancient subjects, giving our imaginations a bit of free reign to roam like the clouds, wondering who has lived and worked here and how their lives were along the way, how different and how the same as yours and mine.

In all of my work, the light is critical to the feeling. After taking photographs on walks around her neighborhood or local trails, she comes back to her studio. This is where the magic happens. Starting with a dark canvas, or negative space, she builds up by adding light. The result is a stained glass image that is both abstract and representational.

Paths, trees, branches, color, light, air, open space, water; we have it all here in Maine. Whether it’s looking up at trees in our suburban neighborhoods, driving down country highways, or walking trails to the lakes, streams, and sea, we have a visual peace and quiet within reach. We can find calm and beauty right along the road almost anywhere in Maine.

Almost Spring 18×18 Oil

 

Large Cloud Study I 16×16 Oil.

 

Large Cloud Study II 16×16 Oil

Throughout my career, my goal has remained constant: to capture a single moment in time. As an artist, my job is to observe as much as to create. With every second that passes, light changes, colors adjust, and the slightest physical shift occurs in nature. Each piece is based on a real place, a moment that I have experienced and been inspired by. There is something unique about being alone with nature—a quiet that connects me like no other. It is only this solitude, whether outside or in the studio, that allows me to let the landscape reveal itself to me. Having recently moved to Kennebunkport, Maine, I now no longer have to travel but am immersed daily in the area of my greatest inspiration. It is a place where nature provides a lifetime of exploration and study. Where the fog can roll in at any moment and change the landscape. Where the greens of marsh change over to the warm ochre of autumn.

2021 Spring Arrivals

These are the two newest spring arrivals from artist Bethany Harper Williams. We are featuring these images this week, from March 28 to May 3. Any of these paintings purchased is subject to free shipping*.

Pink Beach House 30×30, oil on canvas
Yellow Polka Dot Umbrella, 20×20 oil on canvas

By taking the landscape and simplifying it, I aim to capture a memory without the details of representation. The expanse of nature, be it the sky, beach, or water, provides an opportunity to abstract the elements through expressive brushstrokes, subtle textures, and simple forms. Layers of unexpected shapes, patterns, and colors create a visual composite of energy and calm, taking the viewer away from the reality of the image and triggering a personal memory, a moment in time. A low horizon line or the playful placement of simple figures brings context to the expressive composition of color and texture.

2021 Spring Arrivals

These are the two newest spring arrivals from artist Ryan Kohler. We are featuring these two images this week, March 21 to 27. Any of these paintings purchased is subject to free shipping*.

Lucky Day Mixed Media 18×24

 

Secretly Mixed Media 20×30

“Some would argue that a painting, just by being a painting, is automatically abstracted to a small degree, no matter how hyper-realistic it is. My work falls on the abstraction scale somewhere, sure, but where doesn’t matter to me. Tasteful expression matters to me. Strong composition and accurate drawing matter to me. Mixing color with integrity matters to me. Fussy, overworked, lifeless paintings bore me something dreadful. You can be anything but boring. They say that no paintings are ever finished, just abandoned.  The trick is to know when to walk away.”

Birds of a Feather 12-x-24 Oil

 

Here Comes the Big One! 24 x 30 Oil

“My artwork comes from the visual connection I have with common, everyday objects and places. I am inspired by the way light falls upon a subject, casting rich dark shadows, and I aspire to simplify the nuances within those darks. Starting with a luminous, warm ground, I seek to create a vibration of color by using compliments and deliberately leaving some areas untouched. Painting for me is a life-long journey of observations and a representational translation of my surroundings. “

2021 Spring Arrivals

These are the three newest spring arrivals from artist Claire Bigbee. We are featuring these three images this week, March 14 to 20. Any of these paintings purchased is subject to free shipping*.

Kaleidoscope #2 20×20 Mixed Media

 

Quiet Splendor 18×24 Oil

 

Kaleidoscope #1 36×24 Mixed Media

Claire Bigbee, a Maine resident, takes her inspiration from the grandeur of southern Maine’s varied landscapes and changing seasons. To Claire, coastal views, salt marsh settings, and cows grazing in pastoral fields reflect Maine’s unlimited ranges of color and light. She works intuitively and strives to let her work arrive at its essence by staying open to the possibilities that spontaneously emerge while the painting is underway. Whether capturing a moment in time or reflecting a remarkable spectrum of colors, Claire’s art has distinctive energy and harmony.

Mark Davis

2021 Spring Arrivals

These are the two newest spring arrivals from artist Mark Davis. We are featuring these two images this week, March 14 to 20. Any of these mobiles purchased are subject to free shipping*.

 

UPWARD GESTURE 5″ X 4″ X 3.5″ brass and aluminum with steel wires, oil, and acrylic colors

 

ODALISQUE 8″ X 12″ X 6″ brass and aluminum with steel wires, oil color, and 23 karat gold leaf

 

“The materials for my mobiles are simple. I use sheet metals of different weights and materials, steel being the heaviest, then brass, and aluminum being the lightest. Flat sheet metal is formed by the traditional methods of silversmithing, using hammers and forming tools. The balancing is done by intuition at first, and then as the piece progresses, I am able to fine-tune the balance so that the end result comes as close to possible to my original vision. Initially, my vision is to see the various elements floating in space, relating to-but not anchored to the earth. By completion, each piece becomes its own very personal universe.”

We Love Spring Arrivals So Much!

Posted on by Maine Art

 

Spring is upon us, thank goodness, and we at Maine Art Hill are aware our visitors are ready to open windows and enjoy the sunshine. 

For our artists, spring holds a different kind of excitement. The longer, darker, colder days of winter are often when artists are at their best. They create, paint, sculpt and find inspiration in the craziest of places. When spring comes, it means it’s time to bring said pieces to the gallery. Experience tells us these works represent some of the most amazing works.

So why not invite you to share in the excitement.

Spring Arrivals

Every Sunday, beginning March 14, an email will be sent to everyone on our email lists. This email will feature three-four artists and their new “Spring Arrivals.”  This will continue through April, featuring three-four different artists each week.

During this time, watch for social media posts on Facebook and Instagram on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays to highlight the week’s individual artists and learn a little more about them.

Any purchases from the featured weeks are eligible for free shipping* when purchased by the following Sunday.

Who will these artists be? Which pieces of work?

We aren’t telling! You will have to wait until the email comes or follow us on social media! Don’t you love the anticipation!

How do you do that?

Join our email list to learn about the artists as they are announced! BTW…the link is on the bottom right of our home page.
