We went to the Saco Museum last weekend too. It was great!

This is a detail of a painting by John Brewster, a painter working in Maine in the early 19th Century. I’m familiar with folk art from that period, but not Brewster, and his paintings in the museum are fantastic.

Here’s a link to Brewster’s Wikipedia entry:
