Consider the Lobster
The gWatson Gallery is presenting a group exhibition of new paintings entitled Consider the Lobster. Twenty-three artists, most of whom regularly exhibit in the Gallery, have created images inspired by Maine’s iconic crustacean.
The paintings range from the photo realism of Mark Workman to the abstractions of Robin Reynolds and Hannah Bureau. Pamela Parsons and Nancy Morgan Barnes contribute pictures of lobsters in their environment. Nancy Bea Miller and Alexandra Tyng prepare their lobsters on a plate. To the table, Joel Janowitz delivers six montotypes; and Jon Imber brings three small paintings. The exhibition celebrates the creativity of these twenty-three artists and salutes the men and women who sustain the area’s most important industry: lobster fishing. ~Stonington Galleries News

Consider the Lobster opens on Friday, June 26. A Celebration of artists and their lobster images will take place on Friday, July 3 from 4 to 7 PM.

New Class Starting Next Week

Figure in the Landscape
all levels
Tuesdays, 10 am to 1 pm.
Starts May 5, goes for six weeks.
$145

One of my painting students offered me the use of her wonderful farm in Berwyn, PA: outbuildings, spring house, creek, woods, fields, pond, paddock with horse etc. I'll have a model available for those who care to pursue that aesthetic line, but people can paint whatever they want! There is a barn in which to paint the model on any rainy days, and also covered porches and loggias for the sun sensitive, and best of all for women landscape painters: access to bathrooms!

A few winter images of the farm. It is an amazing place!
