On this page I will share some stories behind the images, thoughts on upcoming trips and art fairs, as well as some trip reports, and random thoughts. If you are interested in more details about the things on this page, feel free to contact me.

I have to admit that I stole the title of this page from George R. R. Martin. If you don’t know who that is, all I can say “Drakharis”.

Autumn Updates

Hi, everyone

It’s been a while since I posted. Life interferes it seems.

First of all, I wanted to welcome any new subscribers. As we are heading into Fall, I also wanted to share a few updates regarding some new products as well as upcoming Art Fairs and exhibits. Hopefully, I will be able to post a bit more regularly.

Hi, everyone

It’s been a while since I posted. Life interferes it seems.

First of all, I wanted to welcome any new subscribers. As we are heading into Fall, I also wanted to share a few updates regarding some new things as well as upcoming Art Fairs and exhibits. Hopefully, I will be able to post a bit more regularly.

Let’s start with the exhibits and Art Fairs.

Exhibits

Generally speaking, I am trying to keep my “Upcoming Events” tab updated. So, if you don’t hear from but would like to know what I am up to, visit that page. That being said, here we go…

Cape Cod Art Center is currently running an exhibit for the juried artists (of which I am one), called Inspirations. I have two pieces in the exhibit, and one of them won second place in Photography.

My “Fire and Ice” piece was juried into the 57th Annual Juried Art Show, running September 21st-October 20th at the Plymouth Center for The Arts. The reception with some food and music is going to be on September 21st 6-9pm.

Art Fairs

You can check out the list of all the Art Fairs I will be at this Fall in the Upcoming Events tab. Here, I will only mention those coming up in September.

This Saturday (September 7th) I will be at the Codman Estate Fine Arts and Crafts Festival in Lincoln, MA. This will be the third year I participate in this charming small fair. All the events organized by the Historic New England society enjoy beautiful locations for their fairs, and Codman Estate is not exception. Come visit!

On Sunday (September 15th) I will be at the stArt on the Street festival in Worcester. It is a beautiful show with live music and a multitude of vendors in downtown Worcester. Unfortunately, this will be the last year this festival will be held due to insufficient number of volunteers. It is really a shame, as it has been a great event. Hopefully, they will at least be able to continue with the stArt at the Station festival.

Finally, on September 28-29th, I will participate in the Eustis Estate Arts Market in Milton, MA. This is another event organized by the Historic New England society. It is also the first time this event will run two days late September (it used to be one day in late October/early November).

2025 Calendars Are Here

It is that time of year again, when I put together some of my favorite images to create calendars. This year I decided to make two different calendars. One of New England Lighthouses, and another of more general New England images. Let me know if you fancy one!

New Products

I also decided to offer two new products. One is metal or acrylic groupings. At the moment I am only offering two, but I plan to expand the selection over time. Let me know if you have any specific image/images you would like to see offered as a grouping. In the meantime, check out the two groupings I am offering!

Misty Mountains Triptych. Three Image Metal or Acrylic Grouping

The other new product is a themed print set of five 11”X14” prints. I still haven’t decided whether I will offer these throughout the year or just for the holidays. I currently have five print sets (New England Farms and Barns, New England Lighthouses, Nubble Light, Chasing Waterfalls, and Misty Mountains). Check these out at the link! As with the groupings, if you would like to have a different set, let me know, which images you would like to include in the set.

I guess, this is it for the update. I hope to see you at one of the upcoming exhibits or Art Fairs!

Thank you for being a valued patron

Have a great rest of your week

Dimitry
