York artist s Mt. A painting put on public display in perpetuity
By Steven Porter
YORK, Maine When she spotted the painting at the George Marshall Store Gallery in the fall of 2019, Cynthia Hosmer knew immediately she had to buy it. Not for herself. For her town. I don t think it was five minutes after I walked in there that I grabbed Michael and Mary and said, I really want that painting to be in the public, Hosmer said.
The acrylic painting, titled West from Mount Agamenticus by York artist Michael Walek, stands 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, and it depicts a slice of scenery from the top of one of York s natural beauties.
