    CHILDRENS

    JULIA LUNK was born in rural Hungary. After high

    school, Lunk followed the call of her art and left the rural

    countryside for Budapest where she studied for five years

    at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. There she began

    studying graphic design, but then received a masters degree in

    printmaking. Her love for painting emerged during university

    while participating yearly in plein air symposiums in the

    countryside. Exhibited internationally since 1993, her worksare inspired by dreams, faraway places, and plantslifes little

    miracles. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.

    SARAH WARNER wrote Almas story after seeing an

    exhibit of Julia Lunks paintings. Deeply inspired by the

    exhibit, she wanted to bring to life some key characters and

    motifs she saw throughout Lunks artwork. A graduate of

    Sarah Lawrence College, she runs a literary agency and lives

    in Boulder, Colorado.

    birds quietly lay a large, warm egg on the hard knot at the

    top of her head. The large, warm egg wiggles and jiggles atop

    her head, makes her tall and powerful, and then, cracks open.

    Seeing her friend suddenly there before her, she realizes how

    much she missed him. Their time together is brief, but theymanage to share so much. For Alma and her friend, it is a

    Paintings by Carol Aronson-Shore

    Essays by Kimberly Alexander, Ph.D., and Mara Witzling, Ph.D.

    Foreword by Robert Flynn Johnson

    The Shape of ColorStrawbery Banke and Monhegan Island

    Carol Aronson-Shore describes her primary subject as theway color shapes pictorial light and space, and nowhereis this more evident than in her signature landscapes and

    seascapes. Continuing in the tradition of American Luminist

    painters, Aronson-Shore uses color to create paintings

    characterized by a glowing light that adds depth and warmth

    to the experience.

    Finding inspiration in her hometown of Portsmouth, New

    Hampshire, Aronson-Shore uses color, light, and form to

    explore the historic museum village in her Strawbery Banke

    series. This series developed from her earlier paintings of

    Monhegan Island, where she captured the rocky hillsides

    dotted with simple structures. Her paintings depict human

    shelters from a past time as well as their relationships to each

    other and to the natural landscape surrounding them. The

    Strawbery Banke Museum has provided the artist with a

    familiar subject combining an experience of time, place,

    and memory.

    Carol Aronson-Shore uses her finely tuned skills as a

    landscape artist to explore the built environment set against

    its natural surroundings. It is through this perspective that she

    artfully presents the contrast between man-made structures

    and the countryside. In Aronson-Shores paintings, the

    natural environment is not just a backdrop for the built

    environment, as each setting is a thoughtful exploration of

    the interplay between the two. As Kimberly Alexander writes,

    The series offers new glimpses and original concepts to an

    environment steeped in history, creating fresh perspectives

    and innovative dialoguesheld in balance by color, form,

    and light.

    CAROL ARONSON-SHORE holds a bachelor of fine arts

    degree from Boston University and a masters degree from the

    University of Chicago. In 1980, she moved to New Hampshire

    to join the art faculty at the University of New Hampshire,

    where she is a professor emeritus of painting and drawing. Her

    paintings and drawings are in numerous private, public, and

    corporate collections in the United States and Europe.

    For more than a century and a half,painters from all over have found the

    streets, buildings, water, and landscape ofPortsmouth worth painting. While a fewlike John Samuel Blunt and Mary Harris

    came from the city itself, a few settledalong the Piscataqua and some summervisitors joined the Piscataqua SketchClub to exhibit here from the 1890s. ThatStrawbery Banke Museum captures so manylittle-known views of the area by artists

    KIMBERLY ALEXANDER, PH.D., brings years of museum,

    research, teaching, and writing experience to her position

    as chief curator at Strawbery Banke Museum. A resident

    of Newmarket, New Hampshire, where she lives with her

    husband, Dane, and daughters Lydia and Abbie, she finds the

    seacoast a constant source of inspiration.

    JAMIE LAFLEUR is a painter, gallery owner, and

    independent curator who has worked professionally in the

    fine arts field for nearly twenty years. He lives and works in

    Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with his wife, Angie, and two

    children, Jamison and Ella. LaFleur has focused his career on

    paintings of and the history of painting in his native state of

    Painting PortsmouthA Brush with the Past

    While Portsmouth's history as a center of commerce,industry, and politics is well established, we actuallyknow surprisingly little about the city's rich history in, and

    contribution to, the visual arts. This exhibition will help

    reveal the depth and importance of Portsmouth as a center of

    culture and inspiration over the past two hundred plus years.

    Painting Portsmouth: A Brush with the Past provides a

    unique opportunity to explore how several generations of

    painters, from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,

    envisioned this prominent seacoast city. Our goal is tointroduce visitors to an exhibition of significant Portsmouth

    paintings drawn from private collections, art galleries, public

    institutions, and auction houses, which have been rarely,

    if ever, seen and are little known to the public or to many

    within the art community.

    SKIING/PHOTOGRAPHY

    David IronsForeword by John Christie

    Sunday RiverHonoring the Past, Embracing the Future

    On December 19, 1959, Sunday River Skiway officiallyopened, mostly through the work of volunteers. Sinceopening day fifty years ago, with a T-bar and just a handful of

    runs, Sunday River Skiway has grown into one of the busiest

    ski resorts in New England. Ten thousand acres of private land

    encompasses several peaks, and the first trails, with excellent

    grooming and snowmaking, are still among the most popular:

    Upper and Lower Cascades, Upper and Lower Sunday Punch,

    Rocking Chair, and Crossbow. Sunday River now also includes

    a unique, renowned golf course, the Sunday River Golf Club.In Sunday River, David Irons gives a firsthand account of

    the history of the Sunday River Skiway. Irons was there in

    the very beginning, on opening day as a skier and later as

    the ski patrol director. His account includes such highlights

    as the 197071 winter training for the Green Berets, the

    1976 NCAA championships and the Canadian American

    Intercollegiate Alpine series, the Gould Sunday River

    program, and the Snowboard World Cup.

    Through text, historical and contemporary photographs,

    and period marketing pieces, Sunday River explores the

    establishment and evolution of one of New Englands most

    celebrated, time-honored, beloved recreational attractions.

    Whether fondly remembered by old friends of Sunday River

    Skiway, or discovered by new acquaintances to this fantastic

    resort area, Sunday River completely captures the historical

    and timeless value of this landmark destination.

    DAVID IRONS grew up in South Paris, Maine, learning toski on a small hill behind his familys home. Irons continued

    to ski wherever possible, and following the opening of Sunday

    River in 1959, Irons became a regular weekend skier there.

    He joined the Sunday River Ski Patrol in 1968, which he

    directed from 1971 to 1982. During twenty years of patrolling,

    Irons achieved certification by the National Ski Patrol and the

    Professional Ski Patrol Association and served as an examiner

    for both organizations until 1988, when broadcasting and

    writing became his primary focus.

    On its fiftieth birthday, Sunday Riverdeserves just such a handsome historicalvolume as this, and only Dave Irons, alocal boy who was there riding the T-baron opening day, could have written it.Ironss thorough research, underpinned by

    firsthand experience and vivid memories,make for an entertaining and highlyinformative read, one that any fan of theRiver or Maines ski history will cherish.Congratulations to both the author andthe resort.

    Wine & Dinewith New Hampshire

    One may be surprised to know that New Hampshire, astate with four seasons and dramatic weather changes,has its own wine country, but Carla Snow, the states first

    female Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), can certainly

    attest to it. In Wine & Dine with New Hampshire, Snow

    offers an in-depth look at New Hampshires award winning

    wines, ciders, and meads, and the pioneer companies whocreate them: Candia Vineyards, Farnum Hill Ciders, Flag

    Hill Winery and Distillery, Jewell Towne Vineyards, LaBelle

    Winery, Piscassic Pond Winery, and Zorvino Vineyards.

    Blueberries have long conjured New England summers,

    and apples evoked New England autumnsnow it is time

    to add grapes and honey to our sense of the region, and to

    experience all their flavors year-round. Thanks to advances

    in hybridization, with cold tolerant grape varietals developed

    at wineries and universities, winemaking is now possible even

    in New Hampshires relatively chilly climate. Illustrated with

    stunning color photography, and winery labels, and featuringrecipes created specifically to pair with or incorporate the

    beverages described, Wine & Dine with New Hampshire delivers

    the good news that New Hampshire viniculture and its sister

    arts are making a splash at home and abroad.

    THOMAS AND MARIAH ROBERTS have been friends since

    age twelve. Born and raised in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,

    the two traveled west after college. Three years in the SierraNevada Mountains skiing, hiking, biking, and, notably,

    cooking and baking prepared them for the next phase of their

    adventure: their return home to the region they love. In 2001,

    in a borrowed commercial kitchen, they began baking for local

    farmers markets. In 2002, they opened the doors of Beach

    Pea Baking Company, which instantly became a mainstay of

    the Seacoast. In 2003, they married. Together they live their

    commitments to health, to community, to sustainability, and,

    of course, to baking.

    goods, this special place offers generous fresh salads, an original

    sandwich menu, and friendly staff who are committed to all-natural, organic ingredients and leading the community in

    recycling and composting. Like James Haller, chef and author

    of the introduction, this bakerys patrons also enjoy dining

    on the shady porch overlooking its blooming gardens. Beach

    Pea Baking Co. presents the vision and passion of its owners,

    Thomas and Mariah Roberts. In this introductory collection

    of recipes, they share their philosophy along with the secrets

    to favorites such as fougasse and cowgirl cookies. The

    Roberts step-by-step instructions, along with Brian Smestads

    photographs, illustrate for readers the art in artisan baking.

    Visions in GraniteVolume II

    Long before they were conqueredif, indeed, theyhave beenthe White Mountains of New Hampshireimprinted themselves in the minds eye of all who saw them.

    They held a sacred place in the spirituality of local tribes,

    who treated with particular respect that inhospitable peak

    we know as Mount Washington, with its fearsome winds and

    sudden storms. In early colonial times, only the adventurous

    would approach, but later, trailblazers and enterprisingsettlers opened the mountain region to travelers, whose

    numbers multiplied with the circulation of paintings and

    engravings capturing the pristine and rugged beauty of the

    area. This second volume in the Visions in Granite series

    offers a glimpsethrough the immediacy of expertly rendered

    landscapesof the White Mountains and of the regions lakes,

    notches, and ledges as they were first encountered. And it

    shows us those same places through the eyes of contemporary

    painters, providing reassurance that some of the states most

    notable features still possess the power to awe and inspire.ALSO AVAILABLE

    Two Lives: One PassionThe Life and Work of William Jurian

    Kaula and Lee Lufkin Kaula

    We begin our examination of the life and work of artistWilliam Jurian Kaula and his wife and fellow painter,Lee Lufkin, when they meet in Europe during Academic

    study in the 1890s. In the first half of the twentieth century,

    they married, lived, and worked in the vibrant atmosphere

    of the city of Boston. Over the next forty years the couple

    traveled, collected antiques, cultivated elaborate terraced

    gardens in New Hampshire, and most importantly painted

    together sharing a kinesthetic relationship based in their

    mutual respect for one another and a shared love of art. What

    is truly remarkable is that their lives reflect the context of

    typical American conventions of culture and society. What

    is special about this couple was their ability to conduct their

    lives with a deep affection for one another while encouraging

    their respective artistic talents. Both artists specialized in

    their craft and subject but were united in their quest to

    commit themselves to their work. Through text, paintings,

    photographs, sketches, and journal entries, this book exploresthe veracity of the lives of two prolific painters who shared an

    appreciation for the world as exhibited in their works of art.

    allow yourself to be drawn deeper, past the surfaces and into

    an inner space. The foamy rush of ocean, the languid sigh of

    the model, the preternatural stillness of the standing stones,

    or the whisper of the salt piles becomes real sound againstthe inner ear. In Sunday River, David Irons gives a firsthand

    account of the history of the Sunday River Skiway. Irons was

    there in the very beginning, on opening day as a skier and

    later as the ski patrol director. His account includes such

    highlights as the 197071 winter training for the Green

    Berets, the 1976 NCAA championships and the Canadian

    American Intercollegiate Alpine series, the Gould Sunday

    River program, and the Snowboard World Cup.

    Hyatts commitment to find, and transmit, this depth of

    connectionto the soul of a stone, to a landscape, or to a

    personis the mark of his work. His photographs reflect theconscious awareness of the miraculous that emanates from

    all of creation. No matter how modest the landscape, or

    how muted the subject, Hyatt manages to draw from it the

    numinous. The best of Hyatts images invite us to see, see into,

    and see through. This is no trick or projection. This work

    has that Zen-like reverence for space and emptiness that in

    Japanese tradition invites the Kami or spirits to be present.

    The combination of master craftsmanship and

    uncompromising artistic vision are revealed through a twenty-

    year period and a selection from this period is published for

    the first time in this edition.

    PortsmouthA Historical Perspective

    Portsmouth: A Historical Perspective takes the readeron a journey into the past and captures the spiritof Portsmouth, New Hampshire. By pairing nineteenth

    and twentieth century photographs with today's images,

    Portsmouth-photographer Brian Smestad provides an

    innovative look at the historical community's heritage.

    Portsmouth combines historic and contemporary

    photographs with excerpts fromAn Old Town by the Seaby revered essayist Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Together, the

    photographs and the essay reveal a place that began as a

    small port town that evolved into a thriving city on the New

    Hampshire seacoast. Aldrich recalls the day when President

    George Washington visited Portsmouth and said he was not

    much impressed by the architecture. Today, Smestad shows

    the beauty of this city and its New England charm. Although

    much has changed, there is still of hint of old Portsmouth

    downtown, on the waterfront, and in Strawberry Banke.

    BRIAN SMESTAD was drawn to the art of photography at

    age twelve, and by twenty-two his first book was published.

    His passion for photography and his enthusiasm for travel

    have carried him around the world. Smestad works in medium

    format using a Hasselblad, and currently lives in New England.
