REVISED NOTICE: Wolf's Neck Woods Paint-out Postponed to Tuesday, January 27th, 2015
The Plein Air Connection Paint-Out at Wolf's Neck Woods State Park is postponed to Tuesday January 27th, 2015. Due to the NorthEaster that is moving in and a winter storm warning of heavy snow in that area and along the coast we will be postponing the paint-out to Tuesday. We will still meet at the Dysarts Truck Stop parking lot in Hampden, Maine for those who would like to car pool and we will be leaving 7:30 am sharp!Please let me know if you plan on Painting with us at Wolf's Neck Woods State Park or at the Bowdin College Art Museum at [email protected].
Schedule: We hope to arrive at Wolf's Neck Woods State park by 9:30 am and will paint until 12:00 noon. We advise that you bring a small 8 x 10 inch canvas or panel since our time together will be limited and it will be below 20 degrees. Also bring snacks or a lunch and warm clothing.
After we finish painting a small study we will go directly to the Bowdin College Art Museum at 1:00 PM and view their exhibit. Then we will go out to a local restaurant to eat together, hoping to head back to Bangor by 3 PM.
In Bangor, at 7PM, we plan on attending the John Imber Film showing at the Gracie Theater on the Husson College Campus. So as you can see it will be a very eventful day.

Descriptions: Wolf's Neck Woods State Park is a five minute drive from the center of Freeport's bustling shopping district, and as visitors approach the park, marshes and open fields provide a tranquil transformation back to nature. In 1969, this area of more than 200 acres was given to the State by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence M.C. Smith of Freeport. The park contains varied ecosystems, including climax white pine and hemlock forests, a salt marsh estuary, and the rocky shorelines on Casco Bay and the Harraseeket River. The weather is predicted to be good and not too cold with partial sun. Please bring a lunch or light snack to munch on where we will be going directly to the museum after painting.
We will be checking out the exhibit at the Bowdin Colleg Art Museum called "Rocks, Waves, and Skies: Maine Landscapes, 1900-1950." For more information please click on the link below: http://www.bowdoin.edu/art-museum/exhibitions/2015/rocks-waves-skies-landscapes. shtml As most of you are aware, we will be having an unusual January Bangor Art Society meeting on the 27th. We will be watching a special screening of the Maine Masters film, "Jon Imber's Left Hand" at the Gracie Theater, Husson University, from 7-9pm, including a Q&A session with Richard Kane, the film's director. This documentary is both a love story and a powerful account of Jon's last two years of life and painting with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) in Stonington, Maine. The film is free but donations are welcomed from those who can, and is open to the public. Please do invite your friends! It'd be great to have a full house. Thank you to Husson University and BAS member Jean Deighan (of Deighan Associates Wealth Management) for their particular support. If you need transportation to/from the event, please pick up the phone/email another member, or let Uli know (942 6593) and we'll help one another out. See a movie trailer at www.mainemasters.com. We hope to see as many as can make it on the painting and museum trail, Michael E. Vermette Coordinator of the Plein Air Connection |
