Bangor Metro's photo intern, Emily Sypher, her sister, Katie, and I met downtown for the second annual Paint Bangor Day. Since we didn't bring an easel, we decided to sit on a bench in West Market Square and capture the fountain.
There were people all around Bangor on Saturday. There were some painting the Kenduskeag, some at Mt. Hope Cemetery, and some, like us, kicking around downtown.
Artists had from 8 am to 3:30 pm to work on their canvases. At 5:30 pm everyone gathered at the Bennett Gallery for a silent auction. Half of the proceeds for the art went to the artist and the other half to the Bangor Art Society to help fund future projects. It was fun to see what people had come up with and what medium they decided to use. There was everything from oil pants to colored pencils.
