Last Friday Lee and myself went to Rockland along the coast here in Maine to spend a few hours in the Owls Head Transportation Museum where planes, cars, motorcycles of all vintages are on display. It is a fun place to go to especially when they have special events such as a fly in of vintage planes. There are two images of the museum at the bottom of this post.
Here is their website: http://owlshead.org/
Driving the few miles back into Rockland Lee suggested we walk the Main Street and look in the galleries. Since the Farnsworth Museum had nothing new this walk was in effect a museum in the streets and most worthwhile.
Since we went to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem Mass the week before and were taken with the "Audacious" exhibit of sculptures whose medium was wood, I have been seeing works of wood more than I ever noticed. We walked into the Gray Fox Gallery on Main Street and were greeted by another artist who worked in wood and were astounded by the pieces on display.
The artist is Ashley Gray, a Maine resident who lives in the Rangely area. The opening photo and the following seven are all his work - carved and painted wood. If you can get to Rockland please stop in to his gallery, I do not think you will be at all disappointed.
Here is his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/grayfoxgallery
And his Website with quite a bit of his work:
All my photos are details which is what arrested my interest.
I offer no further comment on the sculptures. Please enjoy what you see.

Here are two images from the Owls Head
The long wait in a hanger for outside air -
Flight is Winter's dream and Spring's reality.
When was the last time you saw extensive chrome on a car?
This is a Rolls Royce or a Bently from the 1920's

This was taken a few days ago and I thought it would be the last snow of the Season - sadly mistaken we had two more storms leaving another eight inches of so. Mama Nature loves to taunt those who long for a release from Winter's grip. This morning, five degrees - yesterday was a delightful eight above. Not really a complaint, but I do long to walk on dirt and grass once again.
