Inn the Pines ISSUE 139 October 2018
Welcome to our Activity Guide!
Dirigo Pines 9 Alumni Drive,
Orono, Maine 04473 (207)866-3400
Professionally managed by Grace Management
One of the most interesting parts of Dirigo Pines for me is getting the opportunity to meet many tal-
ented individuals who live here. Recent conversations have made me decide to feature some of the
wonderful people and their talents and accomplishments here “Inn the Pines”. I hope to be able to
continue to feature a resident each month who is willing to share something with the community.
Please see me if you are interested yourself or would like to nominate a friend for me to ask.
-Tracy
Blue Ribbons at the Blue Hill Fair
I learned from a friend that one of our resident artists Rosemary Buetens had entered her some of her
artwork at the Blue Hill Fair. She entered four pieces and won four Blue Ribbons! Rosemary has al-
ways enjoyed art, but previously felt like you had to know what you were doing before you did it.
Her brother was a talented artist and musician and it was a bit tough following in his footsteps in
school. One of her teachers when she was young even said she had hoped Rosemary would have the
talent her brother had. After that she didn’t focus on art. She did small artistic things over the years,
but upon turning 80 Rosemary decided she would start taking art lessons. She now takes art classes at
the University of Maine and has developed her incredible talent. Rosemary also enjoys the painting
class with Valerie Wallace held here at Dirigo Pines. She said if you are physically able you should
just do it. The classes are step by step and you don’t need to have previous experience to join in the
fun– you never know what talent might have been hiding within you for years! Thank you Rosemary
for sharing your talent and inspiring me to try new things!
Below are some photos of her with her winning pieces from the fair. “Spring” a chalk pastel, Sum-
mer” a watercolor collage, “Autumn” an oil pastel, and “Winter” a pen and ink. Also, pictured are a
few other pieces she has done, including another piece which won an award!
