"Rinse Cycle"

 

News and Updates

Thanks to those of you who stopped by my booth at the Yarmouth Clam Festival  the weekend of July 21-23. It was a great show, and my painting "Rinse Cycle", shown above, sold on the first morning. Its much larger companion, "Harvesting the Flats", also sold at the Elizabeth Moss Gallery on the same day.

I have just been accepted as part of the "traveling art gallery" organized by the Coastal Fine Art Alliance of Maine. The show will be in Southwest Harbor, near Acadia National Park, the weekend of August 12-13. Looking forward to spending time in that beautiful part of the country.

For several weeks in June I cruised the Inside Passage in Alaska on a small boat, the Baranof Dream. Several paintings of the landscape and wildlife there--mountains, fyords, glaciers, waterfalls, grizzlies, eagles, humpback whales, etc.--are now in the works, a bit of a change from all my Maine coastal scenes. I loved the deep blue and turquoise in the glacier ice, as can be seen in my photo of North Sawyer Glacier below.

I attended a painting workshop in the spring, where one of the assignments was to do a self-portrait in the style of Matisse. It's quite challenging to try to replicate the style of a Master--I think my style comes through a bit more than that of Matisse! The painting is posted on the page called "About the Artist".

Collections of my work are displayed at the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth and the Centre St. Arts Gallery in Bath. Both are open year-round. More information can be found on their web sites: www.elizabethmossgalleries.com and www.centrestartsgalleryllc.com. For the complete list of my shows in 2017, see the Exhibits page.

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 2017.
