Beautiful painting, right? I bet a lot of you know exactly where this is located. A place we all love and admire. A place where the light is magical, the cliffs overlooking the ocean are mesmerizing, the flowers are stunning and the people are genuine. Many of you have stood in this exact spot while eating your ice cream cone…

Mariella Bisson. Her paintings are a delight to the senses. Her waterfall paintings provide a sense of calm and hung in any room create a zen-like atmosphere, perfect for relaxing. You can almost hear the waterfall can’t you? Read on for the exhibition info…

I love this painting in so many ways. Charlie, looks exactly like he used to when he would come into the sunroom and jump up on one of the teak chairs where he would bask in the sun and ultimately take a nap. Oh, the life of Charlie – it was good.

Janette Jones. A wonderful artist from California. I featured Janette back in 2017, a wonderful oil painting with geraniums – beautiful! I love the happiness of this painting, fabulous colors, beautifully painted flowers, so you know what they are without every single detail.

It’s hard to imagine how some artists are able to capture the little things about an animal without ever meeting them. Charlie had a funny sit, we called it his “old man sit”. He would sit like this when very relaxed. This is one of the treasured pieces we have of Charlie. We always have our eye on him…

James Richards. An accomplished artist from Georgia, there is literally nothing this man can’t paint. His ability to capture the very soul of his subject is astounding. No wonder he is such a sought after instructor (workshop information below) – James’s paintings sell like hot cakes – and they reside all over the world and in some of the most distinguished of places.

Ken DeWaard – amazing artist and one of the nicest guys ever. Ken has a one person show coming up Friday, July 26 (night of opening reception) – so mark your calendars if you’re going to be in the Tenants Harbor, Maine area – it’ll be worth the stop! Especially if you can pop in and say hello while you peruse his paintings. They’re wonderful, but what else would you expect, right? Details below…

Kayla Martell. Her paintings stopped me in my tracks as I was zipping through Instagram. Zing, zing – whoa! Back up… WOW! Her paintings are out of this world and she has a sense of humor with her Instagram, which I love. I am drawn to paintings of interiors. Not all interiors, they have to have that magic pop that makes it feel real, more like a story.

James Richards. One of the best artists I know. Not “just” an award winning artist but a person who cares, who makes it his mission to share his passion for painting with others. I met James many years ago during an art walk. He was set up to do a demo and it was awe-inspiring. He explained what he was doing and why, he worked quickly, efficiently – and everyone was blown away with the result. I swear, he has this “understanding” with paint – he steps up to the easel and is like a paint whisperer. Quickly, calmly laying down brush strokes until a masterpiece has been created. And… he knows when to stop. Every time.

We haven’t been to Maine in a number of years, but my husband and I visited for many years. Made some great friends who we would meet on the island each year. Kevin was one of those friends, he was always on the island painting away. You might know him as the artist that carried large canvases and set his easel up at the same time each day to capture everything he needed to complete his masterpiece. Monhegan Island is a special place with special people.

Clyde Aspevig. I featured Clyde back in 2012 and that post has remained one of the most popular on artfoodhome.com ever since. Clyde’s style of painting is timeless, stunning, gorgeous AND interesting. He’s a wonderful human, and so modest to boot (which for some reason always matters to me). Clyde has a passion for his surroundings and it shows in every single brushstroke!

Jamie Wyeth. This man can paint some of the most creative and interesting paintings ever. We saw this (not original) in a restaurant and it was so striking. The orange against the blue… breathtaking! This is my favorite pumpkin painting and I look forward to sharing it year after year. There is nothing Jamie Wyeth cannot paint. Brilliance runs in the family. Brilliance and dedication to painting all the time.

Who doesn’t love art, right? Art enriches our lives in so many ways. It promotes creativity, makes people happier and it can be used to hold on to special memories. We often buy a piece of art when we visit a new location and see someone capture it well. It’s a remembrance so that every time you look at that painting (or photograph, sculpture, etc.) it brings back a good time. You always have the chance to create your own art…

Kevin Beers. Kevin is an artist we met years ago on Monhegan Island (Maine). He was the artist carrying a huge canvas and easel to plein air paint (paint outdoors) – you see many artists with their easels on Monhegan, but you don’t typically see a canvas as large as Kevin’s. He has the ability to capture the vibe of the island so well. The peace and tranquility, the “back in time” (ish) feeling that Monhegan represents. Hardworking people, lobster men (and women), these people are brilliant, creative and lose a bit of their island during the busy months (to tourists) – I think most (from what I’ve heard and read) enjoy once the island quiets back down and they head into the colder months. On an island. Ten miles off the coast of Maine. With high winds at times and rough seas. #blessem
Over the years we had good times talking with Kevin while he was painting – we’ve all kept in touch over the years which is the best part of life, right? Keeping up with good people!

Colin Page, a remarkable person, cool dad, and a friend and mentor to so many artists. Colin is uber creative and his paintings offer a fresh perspective. His color palette (love) and the subject of his paintings (also love) are out of this world and diverse. After much deliberation I chose to feature the painting, Again Tomorrow. I’ve always been a fan of Colin’s table top scenes, they’re so creative! He can paint a still life in the most interesting way – and to read that each painting has meaning & memories is very cool. It’s akin to a singer that sings with passion. A painter that paints passionately will turn out stunning paintings with a depth that is hard to replicate.
