It doesn't happen very often but we are having a big framing sale! We need to clear out our moulding inventory to comply with insurance restrictions- or at least to comply with sprinkler head restrictions.

  

So we will be offering at least 30% off of moulding costs on in stock mouldings. The less desirable it is the higher the percentage off. In this case "undesirable" means an older or quirkier style.

  

Of course.... the sooner you come in the bigger your selection will be. See you soon!

John Bonner recently completed a commission for a corporate customer. In an effort to keep the customer updated on the progress of the painting John produced some videos of the painting of it.

They are a fascinating look into the artistic process. John and I had a great conversation when he dropped off the completed paintings.
John concluded with "every step in a painting, from the first stroke to the last, is a decision making process. When there are no more decisions to be made the painting is complete."

 

It's summer time and the living is easy....and the Portsmouth Museum delivers up a show with "Street AKA Museum" that is worthy of the summer time seal of approval. This show has brought together street artists from around the world to do installations on the sides of buildings throughout the city. more

The Ambrose family of Chichester has long been involved with the food pantry in the Chichester/Pittsfield area. They have run many fundraisers out of their restaurant, Dominick's, on Route 4. Once again they will be selling 8" mums for $6.50 with all proceeds to benefit the food pantry in Chichester/Pittsfield and the Friendly Kitchen in Concord. These mums are beauties! I received many compliments on the ones in front of the gallery- big and beautiful!
