Here’s me, happy to have finished the 50th annual Marine Corps Marathon this past weekend, Sunday Oct 26, in Washinton DC, a beautiful day for a race through the city with fantastic cheering crowds, running by national monuments with the brilliant support of the Marines - celebrating at the end with my sister, Katharine, her family and Shannon who had my favorite sweatpants to slip into. So grateful to and Shannon for being the best hosts, and a big shout out to my husband David -for all of the support and encouragement and always cheering me on, I felt it every step of the way. ❤️🙌 it was a really hard race but I’ll mostly remember the beautiful course, seeing my sister and family at mile 22, and smiling as a Marine put the medal around my neck.

A Place Apart: Cynthia Winings Gallery

When you step through the front door of the Cynthia Winings Gallery in Blue Hill, you enter one of the most dynamic and engaging art spaces in Maine. The humble façade (the building was once a barn) belies its compelling contents, from choice Maine landscapes and thought-provoking narrative and figurative work to abstract and conceptual art of the first order. Two floors of aesthetic surprises and delights await the art aficionado. And a sculpture garden is in the works.

Like her predecessor Judith Leighton (1929-2011), Winings (pronounced “winnings”) is an artist with a discerning appreciation for the new and enticing. She is a consummate gallerist: professional, focused, welcoming. Responsible to her artists and her audience, she deftly curates each exhibition to showcase some of the freshest work being done in Maine, by established and up-and-coming artists. The artwork in her shows often carries on a kind of visual dialogue from wall to wall. Expressive, intriguing, inventive—those are some of the adjectives that come to mind. Mediums are many and diverse: in addition to oil paintings, you’ll find ceramicware, collage, fabric pieces and Plaster of Paris sculptures.

Now in its sixth season, the Cynthia Winings Gallery has become a prized part of the community and region. From mid-May to mid-October the place is humming: a show of art by George Stevens Academy students, a lively opening reception, a First Friday poetry reading. “I want to provide a cultural venue where people can get away from their day-to-day lives and be inspired,” says Winings. A retreat for refreshing the mind and soul while pleasing the eye—that’s a commendable goal and one that gallery-goers across Maine appreciate as summer rolls around again.
