New England's largest musical events...

...or for taking part in any of the family

activities and children's events that are on the schedule of activities

Jane

Herbert - "Island Dance" - Acrylic on Canvas 24" x 36".

Richard Boyd Art Gallery announces the

opening of "In Sight of Land" a solo exhibition of paintings by

mid-coast Maine

artist Jane Herbert on Monday, June 1 at 10:00 AM. The public is

invited to

meet Jane at a reception in her honor at the gallery on Saturday, June

6 from

1:00 PM to 3:30 PM where she will be available to discuss her paintings.

The intertidal rocks and islands of Maine's coast

are the subjects of Herbert's

current series of paintings, which she travels by skiff to reach. It is

in this

setting that Jane says she "responds to the expansive space, sky and

sea with

acrylic paint on canvas. The weather and time of day vary the scenes

with

color, light and mood." Although, most of Jane's paintings are created

en plein

air, the large canvases are created in her Damariscotta studio using

photographs and the paintings done on location as references.

When asked about her education and experiences

Herbert remarked, "I have an

unstructured approach to art and life that has served me well. Instead

of

earning a formal education I gathered my brushes and toured Europe in a

micro-bus, painting and learning as I went. Life has been a creative,

do-it-yourself adventure for me. Through my life I have embraced my

creativity,

and painting specifically, I love painting and I love sharing my work."

Richard Boyd Art Gallery is located on Peaks

Island at the corner of Island

Avenue and Epps Street, in the first building on the right, on the

first floor.

The exhibit is on view free of charge to the public from 10:00 AM to

5:00 PM

daily through June 30, 2015.

For additional information about the exhibit or

reception please call the gallery at 207-712-1097, email
