GWatson Gallery in Stonington, Maine, is the proud host of an exhibition featuring local watercolors by an accomplished artist. Who?

GWatson Gallery recently opened a nice exhibition of watercolors by Paul Rickert, son of the noted artist and illustrator William Rickert. Having studied privately with the renowned Nelson Shanks, Rickert became attracted to Maine in the 1970s and started spending summers in Stonington and nearby Brooksville, eventually buying a vacation home there.
