Sublime to Ridiculous, or what one artists' wife endures by Bruce Bacon
In the East Gallery, a solo exhibit of NHAA member Bruce Bacon displays his paintings.

"It would seem that after standing in front of an easel off and on for 60+ years, my mind would be made up - I would have settled on a genre for my work. I haven't yet." -- Bruce Bacon

Michele Fennell in the Gerry Frazier Small Works Gallery
"What I especially like to create in my paintings is a place for the viewer to go-- a sort of personal adventure." -- Michele Fennell

Debra Woodward NHAA member, Debra Woodward's photograph "Adam's Point," was accepted into Here by the Sea: Contemporary Art of the Piscataqua, Here by the Sea: Contemporary Art of the Piscataqua is the inaugural exhibition at the new visitor center at Sarah Orne Jewett House in South Berwick, Maine. A juried show, the exhibition will feature the work of artists who are inspired by life in the Piscataqua Region. The show will run from June 1 - October 15, 2014. Sarah Orne Jewett (September 3, 1849 – June 24, 1909) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet, best known for her local color works set along or near the southern seacoast of Maine.  Jewett’s best-known book, The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), portrayed the isolation and loneliness of a declining seaport town and the unique humour of its people. The sympathetic but unsentimental portrayal of this provincial and rapidly disappearing society made her an important local color writer, and in this she was a profound influence on Willa Cather. The best of her writing resembled 19th-century French fiction, especially that of Gustave Flaubert, whom she greatly admired, in its naturalism, precision, and compactness.

Ron St. Jean Ron St. Jean's show of photographs entitled Impressions of Ireland is on view at the NH Art Association gallery at the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center on,49 South Main Street, Concord, through August 28. The visitor center is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:00.
