Item 2008.086 – Limited edition print – The House at Cushing’s Point – artist Paul Black In addition to the original oil painting, Black himself commissioned a limited edition print for the Society, overseeing the production process from start to finish. He then donated the prints and the original painting to be sold to raise funds for the Society’s purchase of the Cushing’s Point House. This is a tremendous gift given to our Society, even more so considering that Black is a painter of original oils and does not make prints of his work. One of the great things about the state of Maine is that its inherent beauty throughout the four changing seasons serves as inspiration to many artists. We in South Portland are especially blessed and proud to have Paul Black make his home in our midst. To learn more about Paul Black and his impressionist oil paintings of Maine, check out his website at www.paulblack.com. *This auction is for a limited edition, signed and numbered by the artist, 16” by 24” print. |

Item 2008.095 – A Sunset Cruise for two on the Casco Bay Lines, Portland, Maine
Casco Bay. It's where the Maine coast really begins. Rocky shorelines and wooded islands. Graceful sailboats, work boats and pleasure craft. A world of summer cottages, wildflowers, hidden coves and secluded beaches. A place where time seems to stand still. And it's all just a few miles from downtown Portland.
There's just one thing. You can't get there by car. But you can get there the way people who live there do: by Casco Bay Lines ferry. As you might suspect, Casco Bay Lines ferries aren't really a tourist service. They're the islands' lifeline, carrying groceries, lumber and mail, transporting residents and school children to and from the mainland. They're also the best way we know to see Casco Bay, as the oldest ferry service in America makes its regular daily runs through some of Maine's most beautiful natural scenery.
Casco Bay Lines offers a variety of scenic routes with different destinations, durations and departure times. Pack a lunch, bring your camera, binoculars and a sweater. For more information on cruises, departure times and more, go to www.CascoBayLines.com.
*This auction is for a Sunset Run cruise for two. Sunset Run - Portland shimmers like a jewel in the distance as you relax in the twilight of a perfect Maine day. Enjoy the refreshing evening breezes as we wind our way through Casco Bay. This cruise lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes, departing daily at 5:45pm from the Casco Bay Ferry Terminal in Portland, Maine.
