Harvest Gold Gallery is honored to announce that we have recently received more Jean Swan Gordon painting. She was born in 1922 and lived her early years in Old Lyme, CT where are only 14 years old she was studying under a local artist due to her talent. At first she only drew pen and pencil line drawings, many of them are figures of people. It wasn't until her later years that she started painting flowers, however they became an incredible success- both for Jean and anyone to behold them. Sadly Jean passed away in 2013- yet her spirit lives on in every flower in her paintings.

"As with people, no two are the same. They can move around like people, and there’s something challenging about that. That’s why I try to convey in my work the vigor, energy, and variety of flowers at various stages of growth and development.”
~ Jean Swan Gordon

Lenny Novak is the creator of these beautiful, unique dreamcatcher sculptures. He has been creating them since the early 90's after he first saw an Obijway Dreamcatcher made by Gail Carlson. After seeing hers, he attempted to duplicate the web and eventually developed his own style.

Yesterday, July 16th, was Doug Houle's plein air! It was a warm, sunny day, and he chose to paint the image of the fence outside the gallery with some flowers. 

Here is the painting at its stopping point, Doug wanted to use a bright base color, such as this red, to give the finished painting brightness from within. He also commented on the fact that using a bright base color is useful when you have limited time to complete painting, such as yesterday during the plein air!

Here is Doug next to his painting! It was wonderful having him paint out at the gallery on such a beautiful day! Please click on the images to learn more about Doug and his work- and stop by the gallery to see his paintings! 

On the same day, the gallery said hello to "Hoot"! A sculpture of an owl that is making a brief visit, as it is already sold. 

Here is the owl being transported to its temporary home! We are so grateful for the help moving it in- as it is 6 feet tall. 

Here is the owl sculpture outside the gallery! Although this sculpture is already sold, Harvest Gold has many more to see, outside, and inside! Please click on the images to learn more about the other sculptures we have for sale, or come visit us to see them in person!

Today, a sunny July day at the gallery, Diane Scott set up her easel to paint plein air! She painted two different pieces today: a portrait of Catie- one of our workers, and a glass painting study.  

Here is Scott working on her painting of Catie, she states that "Its hard to make a dull painting brighter, but it's really easy to make a bright painting dull", in response to the question, "Why do you say 'If you're smart you always go bright'?" 

Here is the beginnings of the glass study. Diane uses oil pants, saying they allow for so much forgiveness. Please come see Diane Scott's work and other plein air's this season at Harvest Gold Gallery!

We at Harvest Gold Gallery met up and interview Randy Rowe, who is the one behind the brand new Strumsticks here at Harvest Gold Gallery. We discussed his process and his own opinions behind the music scene and his Strumsticks, and learned a lot of valuable information. 

"Standard Strumstick" by Randy Rowe

Randy Rowe's Strumsticks are beautiful instruments and decorations, him describing it as "beautiful hanging from a wall." His Strumsticks are great for any novice or expert, with "no right or wrong" on how to play it.

Growing up, Randy's process of making music was not at all focused on perfection, more the sound of the notes played. Randy enjoys playing more slowly, and taking in each note at a time. Randy dislikes sight-reading with written music, describing it as "looking at bugs crawling on paper".

Randy Rowe's musical instruments are fantastic for the eyes and ears, for playing and listening. Come see more at Harvest Gold Gallery.
