Local Artists

One of the first gatherings we attend every summer is an art exhibit by our local artists.

With a little town of under 400 inhabitants, we certainly have a lot of talent, although a few of the artist are summer residents. We were awaiting the arrival of guests this year, and missed the event, so I was happy when I stopped by the art gallery briefly and discovered that the art was still hanging.

A watercolor of a vintage rail car that made regular runs to our town between 1889 and 1933. Notice it was half passenger half cargo. Our museum acquired this little jewel last year....and the town is hoping to raise funds to restore it.

This is a favorite of mine. A pen and ink drawing (with a watercolor wash) of the four historic churches in town. Left to right: Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, and Catholic.

We do have some new local artists in town with 

amazing talent.

I am no art critic, but I think a few of our newest artists are painting museum quality art.

Thanks for visiting... hope you have a wonderful week
