End of the Portage by Michael Everett.

Norway Main Street by Michael Everett.

NORWAY — Beginning June 18, Michael Everett will exhibit a collection of small landscape paintings at the Western Maine Art Group’s Matolcsy Art Center, 480 Main Street, Norway.  The theme of the show is Condensed Looks: Big Land, Small Landscapes.

Michael Everett took up oil painting to capture his impressions of the remote places of northern Maine.  Many of his paintings are scenes from the Allagash and Saint John Rivers.  As his interest and skill have progressed, he has become more intrigued with the simple enjoyment of painting, especially in seeking vitality in his use of color.  He paints (mostly) landscapes of (mostly) familiar places, and often can be found painting outdoors in his North Auburn neighborhood.

The exhibit will be open June 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – from noon until four.  For more information, please visit Western Maine Art Group on Facebook.
