I received my Maine Home and Design magazine along with the newest addition Maine. The Magazine, yesterday afternoon. After doing my usual flip through and look at all the images of both magazines, I was struck by just how aesthetically pleasing this newest publication is. They are using one of my favorite photographers, Karen Lewis. She brings a sense of theatrics without being over the top. The cover alone is worth the price of admission. Who knew Freeport could look so beautiful and exotic?
What comes through on maine. magazines is an amazing attention to detail. I love the tone of each issue. It seems to have a limited pallet that makes its layout and images more striking. It is also nice to see a wide variety of subjects and people represented. Congratulations to everyone who contributes its success!
On the Home and Design side of the duo, I am happy to see Richard Keen featured this month. Richard is a great artist who continues to explore Maine, the ocean, fishing, ship building and a variety of mediums to everyones enjoyment. I am lucky enough to own a Richard Keen painting that plays with abstracted sense of water, goldfish and pebbles. It is one of my favorite paintings!
Richard Keen's new work can be seen in a group show opening at Whitney Artworks on the first friday in November. The show called "Fresh Paint" includes two other artists of note: Deborah Randall and Richard Garrigus. I am looking forward to seeing this show and will definitely write a piece after the opening.
