Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor is featuring two new exhibits, Kevin Beers, “The View from Here,” and Jean Swan Gordon, “Selections from the Estate,” through July 28.
Beers, of Thomaston, is showing his typical Monhegan Island panoramas and landscapes, as well as a half-dozen winter paintings done on site in Rockland and sunset views of Pemaquid. Beers is known for his truck and car paintings. For this exhibit, he is also showing “Stars and Stripes,” a rendition of a familiar Route 90 sight, an old truck painted with red, white and blue stars and stripes.
Jean Swan Gordon, who died in 2013, was widely admired and considered one of the Boothbay region’s most popular artists. At the time of her death, she left behind a large selection of her floral stil lifes, for which Gordon is best known. Gleason Fine Art was asked by the Gordon Family Trust to be one of the galleries to represent Jean Gordon’s estate. Gordon combined her love of gardening with painting. She grew her own flowers, gathering loose, brilliantly colored arrangements of them in glass bowls and pitchers. She painted them throughout her life until the age of 91, her last year of life.
The gallery, located at 31 Townsend Ave. in Boothbay Harbor, is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
