The month of May is a great time of
year to visit
Maine, and the activities
and events in Maine, May 2015 show just how
anxious everyone is to return, once again, to fair weather, outdoor
fun. With
flowers and trees coming into bloom...
...and business owners putting a last minute shine
on

...the atmosphere is perfect for a pre-season
Maine vacation!
Outdoor activities take center stage in May.
After all, summer is near and the Maine weather forecast often calls
for sunny skies and comfortable
temperatures.
To help celebrate May Day, Mother's Day, Patriot's
Day, Memorial Day weekend, and every day in between...
...residents of Bath will sponsor Maine's largest
outdoor yard sale, Kennebunk will host a May Day Festival, and Ogunquit
will be home to an
AIDS Walk Weekend...
...and road races, canoe and kayak explorations,
car shows, and a home, garden and flower show, are also on the
list of activities and events in Maine,
May 2015.
It's going to a great month, with lots of
family-friendly activities and fun things to do in
Maine! And because tourist season is not yet here, you

Felicity Sidwell -
"Phippsburg" - Oil on Canvas 20" x 30".
Richard Boyd Art Gallery located on Peaks
Island in Portland, Maine is pleased to announce the opening of a solo
exhibition of paintings by award winning artist Felicity Sidwell on
Friday, May
1 at 10:00 AM.
The public is invited to meet Felicity at the
opening
reception at the gallery on Saturday, May 2 from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM
where
she will be available to discuss her paintings.
Many of Sidwell's paintings have their start "en
plein air" inspired by her
perception of nature and the land around her. In Felicity's words, "In
my
paintings I strive to share the joy I feel when immersed in the natural
world
untouched by human intervention.
Yes we are part of this world and like the ocean
we make our presence felt by
changes we make to the environment, but it is the sense of exhilaration
in a
storm, the contented love of a summer beach or the peace of an autumn
salt
marsh that I long to share with others away from the buildings and the
trappings of modern society. Fishing villages of coastal Maine and
small family
farms, seem to me part of an older, more natural order that fit into
the
environment with a beauty of their own.
I grew up in rural England and spent summers
sailing and playing on England's
coast. Having lived and painted in Connecticut for over 35 years the
move to
Maine in 2007 brought an immediate strong connection with this wild
rocky
coastline tempered by sandy coves and the salt marshes of river
estuaries.
I paint outside, "en plein air" as much as
possible to capture and express in
paint the fleeting colors of land and sky that are so dependent on the
atmospheric conditions of the day and the season of the year."
Felicity's
paintings are exhibited nationally and held in numerous collections
around the
world.
Richard Boyd Art Gallery is located at the corner
of Island Avenue and Epps
Street in the first building on the right, on the first floor. The
exhibit is
on view free of charge to the public from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily
