SUMMARY:First Friday Art Night Featuring Linda Gallion
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, November 7 at 6 p.m. for an artist’s reception welcoming Linda Gallion. \nLinda Gallion works primarily in soft pastels\, which she finds an incredibly vibrant and energizing medium for art.  As a child\, she enjoyed nature every day on the Kansas Flint Hills and often found the colors and light in the sky inspiring. Most of her work is landscapes of Maine and places she has traveled. Linda has worked in lithographs\, drawing\, pastels\, and printing\, and was mentored by Frances Hodsdon—a well know print artist and teacher. The Whitefield Artist Drawing Group hosted by Barbara Vanderbilt was also a significant part of her learning and mentoring process. \nLinda’s art has been shown at The Maine Art Gallery\, Boothbay Artist Foundation\, Pastel Painters of Cape Cod\, Washington Maine Library\, Damariscotta Grill Restaurant\, Waldoboro Theatre\, and now the Whitefield Library. You can also see some of her art at Clary Lake Bed and Breakfast\, which she owns and operates in Jefferson\, Maine. \nLearn more about Linda at https://www.clarylakebedandbreakfast.com/lindas-art.

SUMMARY:First Friday Art Night
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the kickoff of our 2026 Art Night series on Friday\, January 2 at 6 P.M. with Joanne Cushing. \nJoanne taught herself painting by watching public tv. The different art programs showed her how to build layers in her paintings. She uses acrylic paints because the fast drying time allows her to continually paint layers on her landscapes. Joanne also paints scenes of nature. Joanne said “I love creating outdoor scenes. They bring a sense of peacefulness and tranquility.”

She’ll also discuss a few key things about her work as a book editor and take questions after her presentation.
