A Winter Refresh: New on Display works from Tom Jewell!
We are so excited to have two paintings by Tom Jewell out for display new this week, that we feel truly exude the fresh and fabulous winter in Maine! Both depict the area and slopes around Sugarloaf and are a blend of powdered pigments and mineral oils - a truly old school way of blending your own paints. 
Come see them in person to truly get a glimpse of true Maine winter!
 


Bill Jewell was born in Bangor, Maine, and at age three, his family relocated to Portland, Maine where he lived until 1983. His interest in creativity began with drawing detailed birds out of an old book that his favorite Aunt gifted him as a child. From there he became intrigued with the unique color transitions and silhouettes at sunset and sunrise which were inspiration for his earliest watercolor paintings. They are still one of his preferred subject matters to paint.

Sterling Silver and Snowflakes!

Hello friends of Harvest Gold Gallery! A snowy winter is ahead of us, which means making snowmen, skiing and snowboarding, iceskating, and other winter activities! The sparkling snow compliments our lovely Sterling Silver collection beautifully. With the holidays right around the corner, a piece of jewelry makes a perfect gift for loved ones! We encourage you to look at some of our favorites:

Part Two - GOLD!

Not only are Lynda and Bill skilled Goldsmiths that can craft custom pieces, and melt family gold into new creations - they also have a pretty splendid line of their own, many pieces of which we carry in shop on the daily, just waiting for their forever homes. 

In this post we have - GOLD - all works crafted by Bill and Lynda and in stock and ready to wear. For that special someone, dear friend, or fabulous person in your life: 

  • Harvest Gold cuff with Maine Tourmaline, paired with assistant Natalie's heirloom vintage stack 
  • Studs and Dangles! 

As a woman (Natalie writing this) There is seldom a more welcome holiday or occasion gift than a pair of beautiful handcrafted earrings that a loved one bought. Its a lovely thing to look at the plethora of shapes, sizes, textures, patinas and more and say, "I picked these out for you because..." having someone see something beautiful and notice that it might suit you because its the metal you wear most, a shape you favor, or something they simply think would look beautiful on you is a wonderful gift for your partner, friend, or even mother in law. Not to mention, they'll think of your thoughtfulness every time they put them on! I am especially fond of the white gold flower studs pictured below. What a better way to bring some life back into winter than a statement flower earring? 

Still planning to get engaged this winter? Boy do we have the rings for you! 

  • like this one of a kind Gold and Maine Tourmaline ring in green still available - when its gone there will never be another exactly like it. That sounds romantic enough to me! Another Stunning one of a kind ring by lynda, and below, a veritable cornucopia of rings we have on offer:

New and Exciting from Rebecca Klementovich

We were so excited to get three new works by Rebecca Klementovich this week, all her signature stunners with vivid hues and textural magic abound. While were not ready to give up what warm weather we do have around here left, these snowy scenes do get our hearts racing for ski season. 

 

 

 

 

 One of the first abstract artists to show at Harvest Gold, Klementovich seeks to introduce a new color palette and style of painting to New England that can challenge the hold that traditional schools have on the region. Her bright colors and the motion that can be seen through her strong brush strokes seek to represent the natural rhythm and vibrancy that can be seen in the mountains and trees all around us.

New Additions from Kristen Dill

It's no secret that one of our most loved, and most popular artists here at Harvest Gold is Kristen Dill; with her dreamy reflections on Maine lakeside summers with her own distinct flair. Dills work is characterized by the bold and bright colors of summer, and a textural element that gives each work life. Many of her works feature local gardens and flower arrangements, but they extend far further into lakeside scenes, fruit and insects, and depicting the magical New England summer life. 

We were proud to receive of several of her newest works this week, which can be seen on our website or here in the shop in person! So stop by and view, or grab one for yourself! 

Title: Great blue Lobelia, Limelight, and Hydrangea 

 Title: Moonlight through the Pines

Title: White Foxglove in the Garden

Check out our new Watermelon Tourmaline Gemstone Rings!

Hello from Harvest Gold Gallery! Are you looking for a unique colorful ring? Well, we are delighted to introduce two new yellow-gold rings, both featuring bi-color gemstones!

Tourmaline was established within Maine in 1820, but didn't gain much recognition until the 19th century. It's eventual popularity was greatly due to the discovery of watermelon tourmaline! Watermelon tourmaline was first found in the Dunton Mine, in Newry, Maine, during the year of 1902. It's an entirely unique variety of tourmaline, that features not one, but two vibrant colors. The dazzling pink center of the gem is primarily produced by the presence of manganese, while the vivid green exterior is primarily produced by the presence of iron. Watermelon tourmaline is still beloved and admired, and frequently used in current jewelry designs. 

So, in the spirit of summertime sunshine and enjoying refreshing fruit at the beach, we bring to you: two fruit themed gemstone rings, made from Maine's very own watermelon tourmaline! 

Below, the Dragon Fruit ring is shown. This ring has a rectangle gem with a stunning green to pink gradient, and two round diamonds on either side:

Below, the Watermelon Slice ring is displayed. It has a kite shaped gemstone with a wonderful blend of pink and green color, as well as two diamond strips on either side:

Both rings are handmade with love, and shown in size 6 and 1/2, but may be changed if requested. We encourage you to add a pop of color and positivity to your life with either of these rings!
