Exhibit at Cooks Lobster House, Maine (Last Cribstone Bridge)



Set up my exhibit the other day at Cooks Lobster House, on Bailey Island Maine. Had to bring Mr. Blue...he fit in so perfectly!


Update: Mr. Blue - Lobster has been SOLD


 Managed to get there a little early before the lunch crowd hit. They were really great about letting me in while the doors were locked! Got to see all the set up action before customers.





Here's picture I took of  Maine's historical Crib Stone Bridge!
 It connects Orr's Island and Bailey's Island and supposedly is the only crib stone bridge in the U.S or the world! You can view it right from Cooks windows!

It's quite long actually!

Giant Staircase - Bailey Island, MAINE Framed - SOLD

THE WAVE

"GIANT STAIRCASE" - Bailey Island, Maine

SOLD

This is my largest painting to date - a full sheet 22x30". Most of my work tends to be the smaller 5x7" but I'm trying to get out of my box.

I am super excited, because yesterday I dropped off "THE WAVE" painting to have it professionally framed at the Gallery. Really looking forward to seeing the results! oh yeah, I'll probably share it here when it's done, no twisting my arm!

Had them use a lovely antique frame from a Claude Montgomery painting that I sold recently. Unfortunately the original mat had been damaged and not to mention the client that purchased it lived far far away and this frame is huge and there fore, yep I'm going to go all Mainer on you;WICKED expensive to ship! So guess what....I kept it.

Took me about 30  minutes to figure out what color matting to choose, but finally settled on a lovely ocean spray green with an inside chocolate brown to pop out the color in the rocks. I think it'll  look extremely shabby chic! Went all out on this one - even got the special UV ray protection glass so that it won't fade the colors. If any of you have recently had your work framed professionally you know all to well the costs involved, but I think the out come will be well worth the investment.

Update: December  21st - This painting has been sold, but I may a others you may be interested in on my Daily Paint Works Gallery.

"GIANT STEPS" Bailey's Island, Maine.

KELLIE LYNN ART



 

"GIANT STEPS"
Bailey Island, Maine 
5x7 Original Watercolor by Maine Artist, Kellie Chasse




My husband Larry and I were married over 14 years ago on the front porch of the Driftwood Inn on Bailey's Island. We over looked the waves crashing just below us on the rocks at sunset as we gave our vows. It was just beautiful. Just down the road from the Inn are the Giant Steps.
Hope you enjoy!
