Great Bay Art Show

I think my muse is returning. I decided to participate in the Great Bay Art Show, at the Discovery Center, Stratham, NH. The center is located on the Great Bay and is the entry way for a wonderful boardwalk that meanders through a salt marsh adjacent to the Great Bay. It's a delightful walk through the salt marsh and a great place for the birdwatchers. There is an annual art show and sale and the artwork is to deal with the Great Bay and environs. My decision to participate was at the last minute and I finished two paintings and framed them just in time to deliver them to the show before the entries were closed. Alas, I didn't get photos of them. They probably won't sell and I'll get photos later and post them after the show. (yes I'm being pessimistic, art sales have been very low this year). The artists' reception is this Friday evening, 7 PM at the discovery center and the show will run just this weekend.
I wish some of you lived close enough to drop by and say hi.

By the way my October 21th entry includes a painting of the saltmarsh.

Salt Marsh, another view

The last image of the salt marsh on the Great Bay in New Hampshire, didn't actually show any of the Great Bay. This was a pastel painting that was completed a couple of years ago. It was late fall and there were still leaves on the trees but they had been thinned considerably.
The painting has been sold.

The Boardwalk

In Stratham, NH is the Great Bay Science Center. From outside their backdoor there is a wonderful walk through the woods onto a boardwalk that takes you on a mile long walk through the salt marsh on the Great Bay. It is a delightful nature walk and often bird watchers will set on some of the benches there and watch birds by the hour. Every year the science center has an art show and sale of art featuring the great. This was my entry last year it. I had many favorable comments that seemed sincere and not gratuitous but unfortunately it went unsold. It is depicting a autumn evening on a less open section of the boardwalk. Anyway, I liked the painting.
The painting is an 16 by 20 inch acrylic and if anyone is interested, it is availabe to anyone in the US and Canada for $200 plus $30 shipping and insurance. The painting is framed and will be shipped framed. Credit card payment can be made through paypal even if not a member of paypal.
