Lovell's summer craft show is coming up soon! The Arts and Artisans Fair, to benefit the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, is happening this Saturday, August 19th. Located at our local elementary school, New Suncook Elementary, the Fair will run from 9:00 to 3:00. Come stop by and see many of your favorite local artists set up their booths! As we do every year, Harvest Gold will also have a booth at the fair featuring our gold and silver jewelry. 
Hope to see you there!
Happy Independence Day from your friends at Harvest Gold Gallery! Summer is now in full swing and more exciting news and events are around every corner. The sunny season goes by in the blink of an eye, so make sure you enjoy it with us before it tuns to winter!
The garden is growing well with the weekly rains we've been scheduled for here in Center Lovell, but we haven't been without our sunny days. The leafy greens, spinach and lettuce, have sprouted and are multiplying at a staggering rate. Our peas have blossomed, which we expect to harvest a good crop of this summer. We have invested in new sprinklers (Rain Tree 360 Microsprinklers) that make irrigating the beds a snap! The three amaryllis Lynda's Grandmother sent from Florida about 35 years ago from have turned into eighty flowers and a testament to Bill's green thumb. They are happy to have been moved outside. Lilac bushes have been trimmed, and the never-ending task of weeding continues. Next on the list is to fill our new flower box with soil so our already flowering strawberries can have a nice home in the sun.Looking ahead, a new patch of eager-to-be-eaten raspberries and an enormous crop of peaches. While in years past we have grown many delicious peaches from our own tree, last year a branch broke away and made us worried we would lose a good portion of the fruit. Thanks to some help from Eli Hutchins, from Hutch's Property and Tree, we were able to splint the branch back onto the tree. It seems like the harvest will be golden (pun intended)!
To play, you can do any combination of the activities on the list of forty given. Complete all the tasks in a single category from Outdoors, Food & Drink, History, Arts, Events, Landmarks, to Family, to win a matted print of the cover of the special Summer 2017 issue, along with a photo feature in an issue of Down East. If you're really determined, complete all forty tasks and you'll win a 10-year subscription to Down East, a matted souvenir photomosaic of your 40 selfies, and an invitation to visit the editorial offices of Down East in Rockport, where an identical photomosaic of your achievement will hang for one year! For proof of each task, regardless of how many you happen complete, submit a selfie at downeast.com/greatmainescavengerhunt. All entries are due before Labor Day. Below is a map of each activity provided by Down East. See if you can spot us!
We suspect a large portion of scavengers will be visiting our open house, coming up soon on Friday, July 14th from 3pm to 6pm. Each activity is a prize in itself, especially on our open house night, so let us know when you visit our garden if you're on the Great Maine Scavenger Hunt! We might even sneak into your selfie.😀
Harvest Gold Gallery is excited to present to you the work of local textile artist, Kimberly Crichton. Formerly from Portland, Crichton moved away from the rush and bustle of the city to set up a studio in Bridgton. Crichton is one of our first abstract artists in the Gallery, and it is engaging to view her modern designs set against a backdrop of traditional art. “I am a self-taught artist, and advocate, and a strategist who is drawn to the power of relationships, the written word, and art and craft as vital tools of social change,” Crichton says. “I am most interested in processes of transition and transformation.”
Crichton’s work is a long and slow process, most frequently undertaken as a meditative pastime during the slow winter months. The rice paper that is the base of each piece easily tears, so Crichton’s creative process forces her to slow down and work carefully and contemplatively. The rice paper is stamped with color on hand cut linoleum blocks, and then measured and marked in one-inch square increments. Each dot is made to represent a person as a solitary individual, and the thoughts and processes that that person feels when on their own.
The dots are then connected through a carefully hand-sewn web of threads. The threads, made of various different fibers, seek to emulate traditional painting styles and blend the threads into the print beneath them. For instance, the fluffy mohair thread spreads out over the paper and looks like bleeding ink: thus merging both thread and paper. The web symbolizes the relationships and connections linking people and communities, and explores how a person’s internal patterns and thoughts shift and warp when reaching out to interact with another person.
Crichton is not a formally trained artist: she has never attended an art school. However, she has taken several classes on traditional embroidery techniques. These techniques must be adapted to work on the medium of rice paper: many of the tight stitches and knots that can be worked on cloth will tear and crinkle the rice paper. However, that adaptation is what drives Crichton’s interest in art. Crichton desires to explore the relationships between men and women, past and present, traditional and modern craft. Crichton wants to use tools and methods that are traditionally feminine (such as embroidery) to mimic, critique, and challenge the large, abstract, and highly-praised work of 20th century male painters.
