"Ricker Hill Apple Tree"

You know fall is officially here, when your family is out on a bright sunny and crisp cool day at the Apple Orchard.

We headed over this weekend to Ricker Hill Orchard here in Auburn, Maine. Picked up some homemade and yes, STILL WARM - apple, pumpkin, and blueberry doughnuts along with a pumpkin whoopie from the bakery there. OMG  - YUM! 

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Ten

Off on to day two of the pet portraits with oils - this is "DUKE" He has a lot of nooks and crannies, aka little folds in his fur, another bit of a challenge for me with oils! 

I've been meaning to paint Duke for years now, he's our dog Primm's best friend up to camp at Jo Mary Lake, in the Northern Maine woods. They would blissfully play and run around like two crazy kids and Primm always loved Dukes food much better than hers, although she would ultimately end up with the other kind of RUNS every time she snuck over and managed to eat, not just one...but the entire whole bowl if she could get away with it.

We miss it terribly up to Jo Mary, it was filled with our family and a number of fantastically fun and sweet people. But it was a three hour drive one way on the weekends and since we purchased our new small home with the water view we decided not to head back there last year. It's bitter sweet.

2014 Fall Festival, L.L.Bean in Freeport, Maine October 4th & 5th

What a great season this is going to be. I'll be setting up my Kellie Chasse Fine Art Booth at the Freeport, Maine Fall Festival this year! I will have my Large Oil Paintings as well as prints, boxed cards, and some Art Tiles/boxes. 

For those that stop by to see me and sign up for my newsletter,  you'll be entered into a drawing for a One of a kind hand painted Art Tile ~ Maine Keepsake Box! Similar to this one below.

Maine Keepsake Box by Kellie Lynn Fine Art

Come find me - My booth number is #45 right behind the Bubble Tent (not sure what that is though).  My dear friend and Artist Arica's Art will be at Booth #48! You know what the best part is....I'm right in front of Discovery Park where the Music will be! 

 Music Schedule:

Gunther Brown: Saturday, 12pm – 2pm

Gunther Brown plays music that is solidly Americana and borrows from folk, rock and old time country. The band’s hooks are infectious; poppy enough to get you singing along with enough soul to make it worth another listen.

The Kenya Hall Band: Saturday, 2pm to 4pm

The Kenya Hall Band is SOUL. And they will take you on a soul and groove experience that is rare in this musical generation. Rising from the vibrant music scene of Portland, Maine, this 8-piece funk and soul band promises to push your idea of music higher, wider, and deeper.

Primo Cubano: Sunday, 12pm to 2pm

Primo Cubano plays traditional Cuban dance music dating back to the turn of the 20th Century. Danceable, lively, and fun!

Royal Hammer: Sunday, 2pm to 4pm

Royal Hammer is a seven-piece roots reggae collective from Portland, Maine. Comprised of some of Portland’s most talented and seasoned musicians,

Example of  Boxed Cards that will be available at my booth
