Wow!

An obscure art dealer kept showing up with paintings by Po***ck, Rothko and Motherwell. Where did they all come from?

A new season calls for a new perspective. Count on M.C. Escher to provide it: "Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?"

All ready to go back up! But first a new coat of paint on the front of the shop. Yes the same lilac color that once caused a stir and was called purple, has finally become accepted and loved.

BEST ART QUOTE OF THE WEEK....... " A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts".....This from Sir Joshua Reynolds, the amazing 18th Century English portrait painter who probably painted at least three thousand portraits during his career.

For everyone who asked "Where's your sign????" this summer.
After 10 summers and winters I have to say that between Paradis' True Value paint and never-fail One Shot it was still looking pretty good but it was also definitely time for some TLC.

We are absolutely delighted to show this newly released print of Andrew Wyeth's Squall.Looking through the window with rain beating on it is a churning sea and through the open kitchen door, a wildly swinging clothes line. Such a typical sight on a Maine island! Because we are so excited about this picture we are currently displaying it in our front window so that every one in Bar Harbor can see it too.
