Pier Into the Horizon
Pier Into the Horizon
Evan Guarino
$125.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: Sunrises are hard when you're not a morning person! I was up and in the car heading to this pier well before the sun was up or any coffee shops were open, but the adrenaline kicks in once the sky starts to light up and you know the colorful sunrise will begin to fade into the full morning sun before you know it.
A Night at the Beach
A Night at the Beach
Evan Guarino
$100.00


Artist statement: Astrophotography is my favorite kind of photography, because I can plan for so many different details that go into a shot before I actually get out there and take off the lens cap. However, there are plenty of times when plans go awry - planned destinations are gated after dark, for instance. On this particular night, I had to get on Google Maps and find a new composition, and luckily I found a south-facing beach with minimal light pollution and some nice dunes to shoot from!
Cozy Cabin, Copper Canopy
Cozy Cabin, Copper Canopy
Evan Guarino
$100.00


Artist statement: There truly is no better time to live in New England than in October. The foliage, the weather, and the atmosphere make road trips irresistible and I cannot emphasize enough that it is so much more satisfying to get off the beaten trail and take your own photos. I'm sure we have all seen a thousand versions of the same shot at Sleepy Hollow Farm - it's a classic comp, but it's now disruptive to the locals who live on that road. In New England it's almost impossible to take a bad foliage photo!
Courage!
Courage!

Artist statement: This newborn turtle was discovered in the driveway while on a walk with our dog. It was the first spring day that actually felt like spring had arrived! The turtle blended into the surroundings, as it was still covered with sand from the ground. The quarter shows the scale of this tiny turtle!

Slater Mill Carousel
Slater Mill Carousel
George Hancin
$700.00


Artist statement: Painted on location on a very hot and humid day under a little streach of tree shade. It is a painting of the Slater Looff carousel in the lovely Slater Memorial Park in Pawtucket RI. Clames to be the oldest standerd carousel in the world.

Old North Bridge Ranger Station
Old North Bridge Ranger Station
George Hancin
$600.00


Artist statement: Painted on location on a beautiful early summer day. I try to capture a fresh immediate impression of what I see. I look for places where man and nature interact in an interesting way; where trees, shrubs, and lawns play agaist houses and cars. Their interplay creates a variety of colors, shapes and textures.

Juliana Haugli


Artist statement: I have always been fascinated by the sun. It is truly one of God’s most beautiful creations. With its simple yet so complex appearance, it can be a very good subject for a painter. My name is Juliana Haugli, and I am a 13 year old artist who enjoys cartooning and painting alike. This painting blends together my love for sunsets and the Adirondack mountains. I tend to draw in pencil more often, but I wanted to create something that was different from my usual small detailed art-style.
