November 5, 2025 - November 29, 2025

Lamoine Artist Terre Lefferts will show her artwork in the Blue Hill Public Library’s Britton Gallery and Howard Room during the month of November, in a show titled “Local Colors: Oil and Pastel Paintings of Regional Scenes.” The show will feature Blue Hill Peninsula and Mount Desert Island landscapes. The public is invited to a reception on Friday, November 14, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

According to Terre, “There is just so much beauty and content in the ever-changing coast of Maine, with countless different locales and scenes, that no one can say they’ve already seen or experienced it all. The location may be the same, but the scene is always different. The sea, along with the inland beauty of Maine, with so many vistas and horizons, colors and textures, provide not just sights but also feelings. Then there are the working harbors and ships, sailboats or luxury boats, wildlife, and human interactions– the possibilities are endless. Each artist has their own take on it, and their own style of depicting what they see. What unites us is the effort to depict what often strikes us as indescribably beautiful, passionate, wild or human. We have a need to represent in some way what we see, so it can be preserved and savored.”

Terre Lefferts has been drawing and painting most of her life, and professionally since the 1980s.  She is drawn to the beauty of pastoral and coastal settings of Maine; most of her work is based on sky, land, or seascapes.  She also delights in painting animal portraits.

The show will be available for viewing starting November 5, subject to the Howard Room meeting schedule. For more information, contact the library at 374-5515.
