It will show some of the art work that dealers are bringing to the Maine Antiques Exposition this weekend - Saturday from 10 to 5 and Sunday from 11 to 4 - at THE PORTLAND Exposition Building on Park Ave. Art and antiques go well together and many of the antique dealers bring fine art and paintings to the show to offer to their customers. Add these to your home plus some nice antiques in early paint and you will have a decor that will be the envy of your friends and neighbors. Here are a few of what will be there. First a 19th c. landscape, a Domingo Barreres MCM painting of Fenway, a China trade painting of a British Blackwall Frigate Indiaman flying the Red Ensign, The clipper "Ocean Express" approaching San Francisco Bay, by Joseph Smith, a WILLIAM ZORACH (American 1887-1966) Landscape from 1914 - watercolor on paper, a Robert Eric Moore watercolor, a Lee Boynton (Maine) watercolor, a Consuelo Joerns of Wiscasset Maine Martha’s Vineyard framed map, and a portrait of a Portland man, painted by Joseph Greenleaf Cole in Portland in 1826.
