I took the plunge and signed up for Art in the Park this year in Mill Creek Park, South Portland. The weather couldn't have been better. The last customer of the day was Celeste who does the morning show with the Captain at WBLM. She very kindly put the following on her blog at the station website. I'm so glad she's happy with the tin she bought of my daughter Chelsea's painting! She does say that I put my paintings on the magnets when...I wish! I think the painting gene skipped a generation! They're actually my photographs but...you knew that! TThhen

The frames are cool, distressed metal ceiling tiles. Ooh, I loved these!

Scarborough artist Janet Barrett holding the painting that I bought that was done by her daughter, Chelsea Barrett.
The piece in it’s new home, our dining room!
The artistic talent in our community is amazing. Here is a beeswax painting done by Lori Austill. I bought my first piece from her some time in the early 90′s. It’s a painting done on plaster and I still love it! I’m hoping Mark takes the hint and gifts me with this beeswax painting for my birthday!
