OGUNQUIT ARTIST AT THE YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY. The York Public Library will display the paintings of Fran Scully from Oct. 3 through Nov. 30 with a gallery talk by this noted Ogunquit artist on Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. A versatile painter, Scully has experimented with many painting and printing techniques and has found watercolor to be her preferred medium. Her paintings include florals, seascapes and seasonal landscapes. To add texture to her paintings, she uses various materials, such as rice papers, charcoal, inks, gesso, wax and tissue paper, as well as a variety of watercolor papers. She exhibits widely in national, regional and solo shows and has received numerous awards for her art. Scully has been a summer resident of Ogunquit since 1963 and the Scully Gallery is now in its 34th year of business in Perkins Cove. She is a member of the Ogunquit Art Association, and her work is represented in permanent public and private collections throughout the world. For more information, call the York Public Library at 363-2818.
