"Radius" by David Allen- New Sculpture

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!

New Work From Clint Jones

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

Plein Air is Fast Approaching!

Those who have attended Harvest Gold’s Plein Air events in the past are familiar with the fun-filled afternoons hosted in the gardens, where we invite artists to come and paint the day away with us. The gallery offers a breathtakingly inspirational view of the mountains over Kezar Lake. Seasoned painter or beginner, everyone who attends is certain to create a work of art.


Each session, we are joined by a featured artist. Harvest Gold’s first Plein Air event, which is scheduled for July 6th, features Lovell-based oil painter Sandra Bell. Sandra’s paintings are unique because most of her subjects are found off the beaten track. In other words, her paintings capture landscapes that take a little bit of exploring to find. Her paintings originate from her own photography. She is a creative spirit all-around!

Maine Magnets (Posted August 2018)

Here at Harvest Gold Gallery we celebrate and enjoy all types of arts and crafts, from all sorts of folks! And one product that we noticed we hardly ever showed online were the little hand-cut magnets that celebrate all things Maine!

These magnets make perfect souvenirs and gifts to remember your time in Lovell. With designs ranging from loons to lighthouses, and lakes to lobsters, there is a pattern and cut here to suit every kitchen fridge … or wherever you like to place your magnets!

Paint Plein Air with Diane Scott!

Join us here at Harvest Gold Gallery this Saturday, August 11, to watch artist Diane Scott paint en plein air! Scott, a local of Conway, NH, has a unique impressionistic style that brilliantly captures the movement and vitality of life! 

From 10am to 5pm, stop by to either set up your own easel to paint alongside Scott, or just to chat and look around. Hope to see you there! 

Plein Air Session #2: Sandra Bell

Do You Remember the History Of Tourmaline?

In 1821 two men, Elijah Hamlin and Ezekiel Holmes changed Maine’s gem industry forever, by finding a beautiful piece of green tourmaline on Mount Mica in Paris, Maine. They had no idea the extent of the discovery that they had just made, even after sending it to a Yale professor who determined it was tourmaline. The gem industry was not very popular; up until the 1860’s when serious mining operations began, leading Maine to become world famous for its tourmaline. Now it is the official Maine state gemstone!
Tourmaline comes in a range of colors, some are multicolor like watermelon tourmaline and it is dichromatic changing color at different angles. The color difference is due to different elements being present when the tourmaline is forming.

In the case of watermelon tourmaline the elements present during the formation of the gem change part way through it's formation. We see it as the center being pink and the outer edge being green.
