New travel paintings by Wini Smart and Gail Cleveland will be displayed at Smart Studio, July 15th through July 29th.
Traveling separately and together they both paint en plein air with trips in Maine to Moosehead, Mount Katahdin, Stonington, and Acadia. In the winter they paint in Florida on Gasparilla Island, along the Myakka River and in the Everglades. The paintings were inspired by studies done during these trips.
The mother/daughter team have had many adventures over the decades. Last year Wini was reported lost with the Baxter Park Rangers alerted, there was a problem with a dead battery while traveling Down East, Maine and in the Everglades she had worries about hungry alligators. Gail often paints from her kayak which is an adventure itself. Painting in out of the way places can be a worry from strangers and they often find the public is curious, which can be an interruption and distraction.
Wini, an award winning artist is listed in Who’s Who of American Art, and is the author/illustrator of several books: A Long Long Way, a lighthearted autobiography and Whiddens, Old Boca Grande., a history of a man and the town of Boca Grande, Florida. Both books are available at Smart Studio.
Gail Cleveland is also an award winning artist and her paintings and mosaics are included in many private and corporate collections worldwide.
The gallery, Smart Studio is located on Main Street in Northeast Harbor, and open Tuesday thru Saturday, 10am to 5pm. For more information please call 276-5152.
