John Hanley’s oil paintings were on display near Oriental’s harbor, where the red trawler on the water — at left — was a bookend for the red trawler in the painting at right.
Manfred Rott turns a lathe and takes the wood and the imagination for a spin. One piece had what looked like a boat deck’s non-skid on it but Manfred said it was paint that ran, which he then varnished over. (If he called it non-skid, however, it’d qualify as ‘marine’ and a 20% markup.)
Bob Pittman, who was among the earliest waves of artists in Oriental, had a collection of his work on display. Another of his creations was house multi-angled next to the Town Beach, which grew many new additions over the decades. It was torn down earlier this year and a new house is being built, in which Bob will have his studio.
Lou Powell’s birdhouse and other carvings.
Gourds with bling.
It was warm. Cliff HIll’s Galileo Thermometer indicated the temp being somewhere in the 90’s.
Down at the other end of Hodges Street, Laura Turgeon and Gil Fontes opened their doors for a preview of their new Hodges Street Studios. Laura and Gil are sitting on one of Gil’s works, below a collection of Laura’s.
