East Boothbay artist Andrea Peters' new show, “Four Seasons,” is currently on exhibit at Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor. The show, which opened on Sept. 4, will run through Oct. 14.

On Friday, Sept. 12, the gallery will host a reception for the artist, which will run from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to share a glass of wine with Andrea and discuss her remarkable paintings.

Her bold, brushy landscapes mark her as one of the gallery’s most recognizable artists. Peters is a keen observer of the landscape around her. From her cove in East Boothbay, she paints the views surrounding her home in each season: her flower gardens, the shore’s edge, and her beloved spruce trees. Peters’s paintings are composed for maximum expression.

“I push beyond the obvious,” Peters said.

The result is a visual extravaganza.

With spring, summer and fall, Peters dazzles us with a riot of greens, blues, reds and yellows. With winter, she reminds us of that season’s subtleties. Her sunsets rival nature’s own.

Arts reviewer Philip Isaacson, writing for the Maine Sunday Telegram, said of Peters: “Just as the sun indulges itself, so does Peters. Her Maine coast wriggles with color. Hues pile up in layers and then ease their way along the hide of the land. Her style is gestural, spontaneous, and that quality builds a visual tempo. The Maine coast has become a center of visual energy.”

Painting is an evolutionary process for Peters. She forces herself to look afresh at the same view and closely observe each day’s tiny, incremental changes. Her paintings are a triumph, a tribute to her imagination and skilled hands, a perfect expression of one artist’s delight in everything around her.

Peters’s paintings stand out as unique and bold expressions of a highly individualized talent.
