Monhegan Island Quadricentennial

Hello Friends!

I am pleased to announce that my painting "End of the Season" has been selected for inclusion in the Monhegan Island Quadricentennial art exhibition. The painting depicts the lightkeeper's house, located on Lighthouse Hill, one of the highest places on the Island. I am drawn again and again to the keeper's house, with its white clapboard siding and complex array of red roofs.

This invitational exhibition will feature works by contemporary artists who have a deep commitment to Island life. The show, which will run from 28 July through 09 August 2014, will be spread over three Island venues--The Island Inn, The Monhegan House, and The Trailing Yew.

The recognition of the Quadricentennial will commence on 05 August 2014 with with an art exhibition at the Monhegan Museum that recreates an exhibition organized as part of the Tercentenary festivities in 1914, followed by a parade, speeches, and music, and culminating with a formal ball and fireworks show on 06 August. 

The Monhegan Plantation's celebration commemorates Captain John Smith's visit to the Island in 1614.

All for now. Until next time...
