“WINDWARD COVES” by Priscilla Hayes at Gold/Smith Gallery, August 1 -27th
Beginning August 1st through August 27th Gold/Smith Gallery will be featuring landscapes and seascapes in acrylic by East Boothbay and Boston artist Priscilla Hayes. The work “Windward Coves” are paintings from the 1980’s to the present. Her home on Linekin Bay gives her constant inspiration. The sun and sky affect her not-so-shy painterly canvas, bold with color, action and immeasurable joy of place. She lacks no confidence and is never afraid to push her paint to other emotional results.
Having spent much of her adult life traveling all over the world with her husband Bob, Priscilla has experienced diverse cultures and places, all of which effect her palette and her subject matter but at the end of the day, she comes home to Maine. It’s where she can paint and allow her exuberance flow without restriction. It shows!
She finds kindred spirits in painters like Milton Avery, Marsden Hartley and John Marin who were all able to paint the forceful strength of Maine and let it go “free” at the same time. Her work is loose and painterly. The emotion is far from sedate and with the changing tides, the ebb and flow of life on the rocky Coast of Maine shines through like an ebullient child experimenting with its first smile. Priscilla captures the joy of place and with her secure knowledge that this coast will always bring to her a world of endless colors, energy and extraordinary sunsets over the ocean.
There will be an opening celebration at Gold/Smith Gallery for the artist Saturday, August 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to meet the Priscilla Hayes and share in the festivities. Gold/Smith Gallery is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays noon t0 5 p.m. The gallery is located across from the Boothbay Memorial Library at 8 McKown Street in Boothbay Harbor and can be reached at 207-633-6252 or www.goldsmithgallery.net.

Carlo Albucci is an oil painter who loves to laugh at life. His work is surreal and quite ironic.
Marco Minozzi is a Florentine oil painter who will also be having his premiere exhibit in America at the gallery. His subjects are vistas of past, present and future landscapes. They are like dreams that you may remember and certainly will never forget.
Also represented are Claudio Stefanelli, Pescia and Lorella Ciampelli, Livorno, Italy. They have shown their paintings at Gold/Smith Gallery for twenty years. This exhibit offers the public a peek into the talents of six painters, all from the same region and all extremely diverse and unique from each other. It is with great pleasure the Vanders offer up this opportunity to experience a “taste” of Tuscany.
The exhibit begins August 23rd and continues until September 5th. There will be an artists reception at the gallery Saturday August 25th from 4 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to come and meet Francesca Bettaccini, who is visiting Maine just for this exhibit. The gallery is at 8 McKown Street, Boothbay Harbor. For more information the gallery can be reached at 207-633-6252
