"Rough Water"

News and Updates

Most days during this spring find me at work in my studio on a new portfolio centered on the theme of water in all its shapes and shades--foaming surf, rushing brooks, thundering waterfalls, quiet ponds, reflecting pools, etc. "Rough Water" above and "Wild Garden" below are two of the newly finshed pieces.

Good news on the gallery front: I've just been invited to join the N. W. Barrett Gallery in downtown, Portsmouth, N.H. Four of my recent works are exhibited there, including the water lilies shown above. If you're passing through New Hampshire, please stop in.

In Maine, the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth continues to represent my work. My new portfolio of water paintings will be shown there in a solo show in 2020.

In addition, several of my paintings are part of the current juried show at Thomas Moser Gallery in Freeport, Maine, which runs through the summer. Centre St. Arts Gallery in Bath, ME, showcases at least a half dozen of my paintings in each show. I was also invited to display seven paintings in Senate Majority Offices at the Maine State Senate in Augusta, where they will remain until the end of June. And finally, Art Maine magazine included me in their 2019 Annual Guide "showcasing 91 of Maine's most collectible artists".

More information on these galleries can be found on their web sites: www.elizabethmossgalleries.com; www.nwbarrett.com;  www.centrestartsgalleryllc.com; and www.thosmoser.com.  For the complete list of my shows in 2019, see the Exhibits page.

Because I have been doing more painting "en plein air", I've added a new Page to my website to post works completed outdoors. Some of these are studies for larger paintings. From spring to fall, I paint outside as much as possible to improve my observation of color, light and shadow, and to increase the speed with which I design compositions and capture form.

I would love to get your feedback on my art and my web site. Just send an email to llpmaine@hughes.net.  Thanks, and I hope to see you at one of my galleries or shows in 2019.
