Cover: “Spring in Bloom” (24″ x 30″), acrylic on masonite, by Cissy Buchanan, depicts a fantasy view of Easter in Maine according to the artist. A resident of Kennebunk, Ms. Buchanan derives her inspiration from old photo albums and vintage post cards and has won numerous awards at art shows around the state. “Spring in Bloom” is one of four of her paintings that will soon be available as jigsaw puzzles from the Western Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin.
