For Linekin Bay Resort’s 100-Year Anniversary, Brad created a painting especially for their celebration. His goal with this painting was to capture the spirit of this classic Maine family resort: summer days playing games on the lawn, swimming in the pool, sailing in the bay or simply relaxing on the deck. Linekin Bay Resort has welcomed families for 100 years and still embodies the historic charm of old. If you have not visited, we highly recommend a “Linekin Crush” cocktail and lunch at the Deck Bar & Grill!
“Quiet Cove off Oak Point”, an 11x14 painting by Brad Betts, will be available for purchase at the Points of View Art Auction to benefit the Boothbay Region Land Trust on August 8, 2019 from 5-9 pm.

Painted especially for this event, "Quiet Cove off Oak Point" is intended to evoke the moment of peace you find on Maine's waters, coves and inlets, when the boats are still on their moorings and there is no sound other than the water lapping on the shore, the sound of leaves blowing in the breeze and the occasional bird call. It celebrates Maine's natural beauty while recognizing our place within it.
When Brad and Danielle decided to relocate to the Boothbay Region over 12 years ago, the trails and preserves of the Boothbay Region Land Trust were an important part of that decision. They have supported all of the quadrennial art auctions with a painting donation since moving to the region, and are always pleased to support the Boothbay Region Land Trust.
