MIDWEEK SALON: 
The Falmouth Art Center will present artist Andrew Kusmin
on Tuesday, August 30 at 5:30pm.
Wine and cheese will be serve.  Open to the public.

Kusmin, an award-winning and nationally acclaimed Plymouth based watercolor painter, will give an illustrated talk based on his new book, Palette of Dreams and explain his philosophy of art:  "All painters, from the greenest beginner to the most acclaimed artist, began by learning how to paint, and then had to figure out what to paint. But to turn their efforts into art, first and foremost, they had to discover 'why' to paint." - Palette of Dreams

The presentation will include a discussion of the seven artists most influential in his career, with a display of their original works, along with a selection of his own paintings. Kusmin will also offer insight into the comments of jurors and share selections from his book and reflections on his diverse career.

Jane Lincoln is participating in a group exhibition titled Our Voices at the Kingston Gallery. Jane's art focuses on the precision of color and the intrigue of color relationships. Her work features white-line woodblock prints of paired grids sharing an identical color. This matching color appears different due to the colors surrounding the matching squares. The exhibition is on view August 3 to 28 with a closing reception on Sunday, August 28, noon to 3:00pm. 

David Kelley's White Blossom a mixed drawing and pastel combination, received an honorable mention at the recently concluded All Cape Cod Open Juried Exhibition at the Cape Cod Art association.
