Local Artists Share Views of the World

Coming Soon...

Four New England artists will share their paintings and photographs of subjects from across the globe. From watercolors of the Maine landscape to photographs of Romanian cemeteries, the work in this show will inspire wanderlust.

Philip Lepage of Newmarket will display his beautiful photographs of Romania. These images are steeped in history and amazing architecture. LePage captures his subjects in fantastic color and composition. Painter and illustrator, Gretchen Hatfield, also takes the viewer to Europe with charming paintings of France and Bulgaria.

Maine watercolorist Nanci Nason captures the majesty of the New England landscape in her small works. She finds the natural environment, especially water, inspirational. Dover painter Nick Ellard will display works inspired by his travels both distant and local. Each of the four artists finds beauty and grandeur in intriguing and often unexpected corners of the world.

The show will run from November 9th through December 4th with an opening reception on Friday November 12th from 5-7 PM. The reception is free and open to the public who are invited to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.

Lucy's Under Construction

I've always thought that it's so intriguing and mysterious when new businesses block out their windows so you can't see the preliminary set up... and now I got to do it myself!

While Lucy's gets dolled up for the big opening, Statler and Waldorf will be catching the attention of those passing by. (These were actually our Halloween costumes this year!) If Lucy's can get two thumbs up from these old curmudgeons, we must be doing something right!

Thanks to Matt for helping me to pull up all of the old carpeting even though he just got off a red-eye flight from the West Coast! What a good friend.

Lucy's Has a Home!
