There's something for everyone at the Maine Art Gallery and this exhibit is a perfect example of the enormous talent of the nearly 200 members. Upstairs and down in the spacious 1807 building on Warren Street in Wiscasset, the artworks are hung near the -12 over 12- windows that take advantage of the natural light reflected off the Sheepscot River. For this exhibit, artists submitted works to be selected by peer "Member Jurors". Carlton Plummer's acrylic "Afterglow" shows him at his classic best, Caroline Howe's superb portrait of a Yellow Lab "Bentley" is alive in pastel, another member Michael Welch is amazingly able to project complex emotion in watercolor in his "Bar Scene Buzz".

Kevin Mizner is off the lobster boat and painting full time, all I can say is "wow!" Sylvia Bangs's pen and ink "Peregrine Falcon" received the "Jurors Choice Award", its complexities drew a crowd on opening night. Denise Rankin's paintings continue to sell the minute they're on the wall. Cheryl Blaydon and Consuelo Hanks create luminous water scenes that draw the viewer in so you can almost smell the salt air, Tony van Hasselt's "Sundays at the Sawmill" is a masterfully done composition in browns.

The "Bins" of unframed art represent even more original work at bargain prices. This is the one gallery where you can see this many Maine Artists, from all over the state, in one location. The exhibit runs thru August 10th.
