Gay FreebornThe Hug, oil on canvas, 28 x 40 inches, $2,000.
Two trees wrapping around each other, one a maple the other a birch, looking so intimate I had to title this The Hug. These two had grown together after their long years together, holding onto each other and some rocks to keep from falling into the Saco River. Their trunks had grafted at the center and their roots curled around each other in such a way that it was hard to tell which tree they belonged to. Nature’s love story of two old souls embracing.

Michael RichThe Color of Sky, 72 x 64 inches, $16,000.
Today, life is extreme. Our daily lives have transformed in so many ways, leading to the great anxieties over simple, human interactions. In one recent such interaction, a painting student, struggling to mix color while working on a landscape painting, asked me, “What is the color of sky?” The question lingered in my mind while driving home at sunset, clouds parting over the waters in Bristol, revealing intense color of extreme beauty. This painting is my best response I could come up with at the time.

Understandably, the ginkgo has become a symbol for strength, longevity and hope.
