‘The Watercolors of Jan Kilburn and Gary Smith’ at Pemaquid Art Gallery

A long-time Damariscotta painter and instructor, Jan Kilburn’s work is well-known in the area. Her watercolors of quaint villages and local scenes often evoke nostalgia in the viewer. She seems to be drawn to the most charming aspects of life in midcoast Maine.

Round Pond resident Gary Smith is a passionate painter who most enjoys painting on location to capture the mood of the scene. After 32 years of painting, he states, “My style is quicker and looser each year. The more spontaneous and intuitive a painting is, the better, as long as I catch the subject and the mood.”

Pemaquid Art Gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 10 at Lighthouse Park in Bristol. For more information, visit www.pemaquidartgallery.com.
