Maine Art Hill & Portland Museum of Art

Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020 - There is a Winslow Homer/Frederic Remington exhibit up at the Portland Museum of Art that is open through Nov. 29, so Wendy and I were able to do a nice day-trip.

But on the way there, we stopped at our "new favorite Maine art gallery" - Maine Art Hill in Kennebunkport:

Aside from being a really nice place, they have a current exhibition of new works by an artist we really like - Craig Mooney:

And the rest of the place is pretty nice too:
I LOVE the OPEN, AIRY feel of the place.

We had a nice lunch at Federal Jack's, with its nice upper-deck view:

Made it to Portland for our 2 PM tickets. Highlights include:

Winslow Homer - "Watching the Breakers", 1891 oil (Gilcrease Art Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma):

Frederic Remington - "The Fall of the Cowboy", 1895 oil (Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas):
