Acting Artsy

On Saturday we attended an artist's reception at the Gallery Grand in Ellsworth. 





Here are a couple shots of downtown Ellsworth looking out from the gallery. 






The reception was for our dear friend Helen Douglas, a sampling of whose work I have shown below. 




Guess who Helen invited to join her in this rotating artists' gallery until mid-November?



  I can't even begin to tell you how honored, flattered and excited we are to have this opportunity to join Helen.   So come on inside and have a look around! 



Remember the driftwood tree I showed you in my last post?  It was for in here.   




I took these pictures throughout the week as we were getting everything set up.  




What a fun week we had getting everything all ready to open. 




It's just feels so good in here with all this glorious color. 




We're still pinching ourselves to have been given this opportunity.



And simply savoring every minute of it too!

Lili!! It's all so gorgeous. Your pieces are the perfect complement to the art. Truly!! Love the change of texture the driftwood gives to the pottery. Please be sure to share more of this experience.

Congratulations Lili, how awesome to be able to participate in an art show.

My husband and I have decided to take a trip to Maine after viewing my inlaws photos from their recent trip. We are not sure exactly when just yet, we have to figure out the best time of year... but seeing your photos makes me want to go visit NOW.

Thank you for sharing.

Everything looks just gorgeous!! I love the tree and she shells. The paintings are so stunning- makes me wish I could paint with something other than a roller!

OMG, Lili, what a wonderful exhibition! And your table displays are just fantastic. You used your own (shell embellished) table, didn't you! Even included the driftwood tree. Congrats!!!
