Calendars are a useful gift this time of year - and there are many out there. Here's two that are special:
While visiting friends in Little Diamond Island in Maine, their walls were covered by striking 14 X 11 images with a calendar underneath, uniformly framed across one long wall in the living room area. They were nostalgic and modern at the same time, each so colorful that I drooled. There was such a variety of iconic images of the seasons and seacoast.
Enroute home, I stopped in a store called Abacus in Ogunquit and lo and behold, they had the artist's calendar (and it's his store!). I bought not only 2020, but whatever past years they still had, so I can pick and choose the images I want to frame and hang in my own cottage-- and there are just too many to be in love with --so I can easily switch them out as seasons change!
I have to recommend them so you can do the same. Or give as a gift! While you can also buy the images as single pieces of art, the calendar comes in a variety of sizes -- and you end up with lasting art once you're done.
They are available at Abacus in Ogunquit Me, and range from $5.95 to $29.95
They're on high quality cream stock, 8.5 x 11 for $25.
Check it out on Cindy's EtsyShop, adellecirca1920, where you can click through the different paintings each month, as well as her portraits and prints.

Adelle Circa 1920 Calendars
Cindy Richard paints vintage watercolors. She also makes entirely unique, colorful art - portraits, illustrated journals and calendars. 2020 is literary-themed, a favorite of mine. Anyone who loves books and reading will be happy to gaze for 30 days at each of these dozen portraits of people absorbed in a book, in one interesting setting after another! I had at least 3 book lovers on my list, so I bought a stack of them to give this year -- and may need a second round.
They're on high quality cream stock, 8.5 x 11 for $25.
