Steinbeck once wrote: "To put it plainly, this Isle is like Avalon; it must disappear when you are not there…. But it stays with you afterward, and more than that, things you didn’t know you saw come back to you after you have left.”

Gallery artists Leo Mancini-Hresko and Jeremy Durling just dropped off their finished paintings from a recent trip to the magical island of Deer Isle!

Leo's paintings:

Both Jeremy and Leo have a few more Deer Isle paintings to reveal as well as more painting trips to the island planned for later this summer and fall!

As we begin our Fourth of July celebrations here at the gallery we decided to pick out paintings & images that conjure up wonderful memories of summers past!

Each of us chose one all time favorite summer painting (or two), one piece currently in the gallery, and one image of our favorite summer place. We hope you enjoy!
