Saturday, July 21, Shorey Park on Main Street in Bridgton will be filled with Artists and Artisans selling their work. This one day event is always a highlight of the summer season in the Lakes Region, as thousands of visitors stroll through the lovely park setting. Fifty artists will display work in a variety of media, including painting, jewelry, sculpture, stained glass, ceramics, wood works, photography, fiber arts and much more. There is no charge to attend Art in the Park, though you may be inspired to purchase some nice pieces of art for your home or as gifts.
Lynda's mother gave Lynda and Bill three amaryllis plants many years ago, and in the decades since then, they have multiplied into over fifty plants! Over the years, some of those have been given away to friends and family, but a great many still reside here at the Gallery. Over the winter, the plants are kept in pots down in the studio, or in the dining room. However, come warmer weather, they are all transferred to the back porch! And this was our mission yesterday.
Using sleds to carry many pots at a time, and a line to pass the pots quickly up and down to the deck, we were able to get the job done in no time!
Harvest Gold is excited to announce that we are hosting our 16th annual Artist Reception and Open House on Friday, July 14th, from 3:00 to 6:00pm. Come view the artwork and jewelry in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, all while chatting and mingling with some of your favorite artists! We will be serving wine and Bill’s delicious hors-d’oeuvres, so bring your appetite along with your curiosity!
Hope to see you there!
Morgan and Alison came to visit for this past week! The engaged couple currently lives out in Lake Tahoe, California, with their dog Chance. We rarely get to see them anymore, so any time we get with them is precious! We spent the first part of the week out in Portland, and the second half here in sunny Lovell.

Trivia time! Did you know that Morgan was the one who first adopted Captain? Yep! Back in college, Morgan brought Captain home .......
As spring slides into summer, the garden is well on its way!
David Allen recently provided Harvest Gold Gallery with a brand new sculpture- "Radius." This piece is made completely of granite, each side has a different carving; one side features deep circles that expand from one another (how it got its name) while the other side shows a checkered pattern. The circular cutout in the center slopes slightly so the perspective on each side is also different. David's goal when creating this sculpture was to make a window of sorts, a window that focuses on one view and illuminates it.
"Radius" is a unique piece to say the least. Come check out David's work at the Gallery!
One of the sculptors featured in the Gallery, Clint Jones, has dropped off some new pieces! Clint is educated as a mechanic and welder and has had an interest in creating metal sculpture since he was a young adult. While working as a mechanic to pay the bills, he fostered his hobby of creating metal sculptures into a second career. Clint sold his first sculpture at the age of 22.
When he's not sculpting native wildlife and classic Maine scenes, Clint
