Mae’s Café & Bakery hosts Loughridge art show,
“Along the Kennebec Estuary”
Mae’s Café & Bakery in Bath presents “Along the Kennebec Estuary,” an exhibit of original artwork by South Bristol painter Sally Loughridge, from June 7 through September 2. A public reception with the artist will be held Thursday June 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit includes over 35 paintings in soft pastel, oil and watercolor.
Loughridge has travelled and painted the vistas along the Kennebec Estuary for the past year. In spring 2008 she invited the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust to collaborate on the exhibit by sharing educational information about the region and the preserves it stewards. The Trust is dedicated to conservation of the natural, historic, scenic, cultural and agricultural resources of the Kennebec Estuary.
Member Ruth Monsell’s oil painting, Golden Beach Boys, appears on the cover of the spring issue of Memories of Maine Magazine. Also included on the inside front cover is an article, “About Our Cover Artist: Ruth Monsell” and an example of her portraiture. The magazine is complimentary, and available in the midcoast at historical societies, in Wiscasset at the Lincoln County historical society, museums, the Chapman/Hall House in Damariscotta, libraries, banks, and various stores and restaurants. Editor David Branch chose her painting after seeing it in the Portland Press Herald last year, where it was advertising the current Maine Art Gallery show.
Ruth lives in Damariscotta where she works in her studio and operates her business, Artful Heirlooms.com.
