"Boy Salting Herring" a watercolor 19 in. x 25 in. by Michael E. Vermette

Hello Fellow Artists,

  Today the Bangor Art Society excepted paintings for their juried Members show. We held class  at Abundant Life Church's coffee shop between noon and 2PM in the afternoon to allow for artists to deliver their paintings and help out if they liked. The show is at the Bangor Public Library and the Opening reception is Wednesday between 6 PM and 7PM. Artists who are in the show were encouraged to bring finger food for refreshments. I entered a painting that I actually painted once before that won "Best in Show" in a previous Open Juried show in Waterville more than 10 years ago. I thought that you might be interested in comparing the two paintings since we had such a great discussion on Discovering Our Sense of Perspective with Julia Cameron's book, "Walking In This World" at our Plei Air Connect group meeting. In this painting I feel like I turned up the voltage in color!
