Painting Partners
Being a painter is a reclusive profession. How each one sees their surroundings is unique and isolated by definition — picking details interesting to them and ignoring others. Even creating a piece of art by laying a brush thick with paint on a board or canvas is a solo pursuit. But some are lucky enough to have another artist near, encouraging and pushing them forward to new and better work. Two professional painters living in Berlin, Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride, have an almost idyllic situation. They have found a way to paint alone — together.
A Chill Winter at Bar Mumbo

Tuck into the waterfront dining room with fireside lounge or slide into the cozy, classic Bar Mumbo Thursday through Sunday, with curated specials like burger nights (Thursdays), prime rib nights (Fridays) and whiskey brunches (Sundays).
Chef Chris Mitchell brings to the table his classical French training, Eastern Shore style, a touch of Asian fusion and dedication to from-scratch cooking. Seafood is sourced from local watermen and produce comes from Eastern Shore farmers. Dressings, sauces and stocks are house made from scratch, with au jus requiring 76 full hours of preparation.
Mitchell, who garnered Dorchester/Talbot Counties’ 2023 Best Chef honor by the readers of Coastal Style, says foundation dishes like a 10-hour braised pot roast, steak and frites and lasagna meet Chesapeake favorites with flair, such as crab and bacon hushpuppies and oyster stew.
