Tree’s Place

Great little place. a myriad of items and a delightful departure from the typical tourist places. It is fairly upscale and features numerous local artists. It is well worth the visit and you will find yourself walking around for a longer time than you expected.

Tree’s selects great paintings that all seem to be unified by a quality of clear, rich light. I always find work that I love! They have an excellent selection of gifts in a wide price range. I often end up doing a little early holiday shopping, and find beautiful gifts to take home.

I went to an opening reception here a few weeks back that featured beautiful landscapes by local artists. The works were showcased nicely, although there is a strange staircase along which some paintings were displayed and as you ascend the staircase it gets hotter and hotter so instead of wanting to look at the paintings, you just want to get back down the stairs into the AC (note that this was in early, August, however). The reception featured complimentary sparkling wine and passed hors d’œuvre. Some of the more experienced artists who were featured were showing absolutely beautiful oils many of which reminded me of my all time favorite artist Caspar David Friedrich. Really nice stuff. If I had several thousands of dollars to spend on artwork, I’d have purchased at least two of the paintings (but helas, no tengo dinero for that sort of thing). If I am in the area again, I will definitely stop in.

This is a great place to see representational (a.k.a. realist) paintings done by living, mid-​career and established artists from New England. They also have a small amount of sculpture and a gift shop upstairs.
They have openings every week throughout the summer — and that means a new show every week, too. As an art student, I’m not really in the market to purchase anything, but if I were an art collector I’d probably start here.
I’ve always enjoyed going there to look at great paintings. If you go to an opening you can usually meet the artist, and they’re more than happy to talk to you about their work.
