plein air painter - Monhegan Island - the island time forgot...

American Contemporary plein air painter.

The Monhegan Island workshop August 5 - 9 , 2013
If you are still thinking about this workshop,  only a few spaces remaining.

About the island...
Be prepared to step back about 60 years in time, to when things were simpler,  there was time to appreciate a sunrise or sunset, people took time to smell the roses...again and again.
The island is like nothing you've experienced, if you're a creative person, or would like to find out if you are - you'll experience a calmness, tranquility really, that stills the inner voice to a point where you can again hear the whisper of your soul. If you've already been to the island, you know how elusive it is to put the atmosphere and the state of mind you experience in mere words...

You would be surprised how many people who take this workshop remark that they've been following the notices for a few years and they're so excited to be finally doing it 'this year'.

If you're thinking about it, listen to that whisper and don't miss this opportunity.

Farnsworth to Launch New Exhibition:Jamie Wyeth, Rockwell Kent and Monhegan

On Saturday, May 12, the Farnsworth Art Museum (http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org) in Rockland, Maine, will open a major exhibition in the museum’s Wyeth Center, entitled Jamie Wyeth, Rockwell Kent and Monhegan. The show is scheduled to run through December 30, 2012. 

On Saturday, May 12, the Farnsworth Art Museum (http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org) in Rockland, Maine, will open a major exhibition in the museum’s Wyeth Center, entitled Jamie Wyeth, Rockwell Kent and Monhegan. The show is scheduled to run through December 30, 2012.
Jamie Wyeth’s connection to Monhegan dates to the late 1950s, when he first went there with his father, and he has continued to paint there ever since. His connection to fellow artist Rockwell Kent goes back nearly as far. Early in his career Wyeth bought several pen and ink drawings by Kent used as the sources for his illustrations to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, one of Kent’s most renowned book illustration projects. Subsequently, Wyeth acquired what was Kent’s last home and studio on Monehgan, and then bought several of Kent’s paintings from his first period on the island around 1907. This exhibition will focus on works by the two artists done on Monhegan, and how the scenic island has inspired their work.
The exhibition opening will be celebrated on Friday, May 11, at a members-only preview and reception from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the museum’s Wyeth Center at the corner of Union Street and Grace Street, in Rockland.
The primary media sponsor for this exhibition is Maine Home + Design. This exhibition is made possible in part thanks to the generous support of: Anonymous, The Crosby Kemper Foundations, Mr. Richard Gilder and Ms. Lois Chiles, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pyne, John and Anne Surovek, and Mr. and Mrs. George Twigg III.
In association with this exhibition the Farnsworth will present the following lectures and talks: on Saturday, May 12, at 2 p.m., Fertile Ground: Rockwell Kent on Monhegan Island with Scott R. Ferris; on Friday, July 6, at 1 p.m., Gallery Talk with Farnsworth Chief Curator Michael K. Komanecky; on Thursday, July 12, at 6 p.m., Wyeth Day Lecture with N.C. Wyeth biographer David Michaelis; on Wednesday, July 25, at 5:30 p.m., Realism and Resonance: George Bellows Paints the Urban Landscape and the Sea, with independent scholar Marianne Doezema; on Friday, August 3, at 1 p.m., Gallery Talk with Farnsworth Chief Curator Michael K. Komanecky; on Tuesday, August 14, at 5:30 p.m., A Conversation with Jamie Wyeth and Chief Curator Michael K. Komanecky; on Wednesday, September 5, at 5:30 p.m., Rockwell Kent’s Illustrations for Moby Dick, with Elizabeth Spear, Fellow in Curatorial Practice, Colby College Museum of Art.
The Farnsworth Art Museum celebrates Maine’s ongoing role in American art. It offers a nationally recognized collection of works from many of America’s greatest artists, with 20,000 square feet of gallery space and over 10,000 works in the collection. The Farnsworth has one of the largest public collections of works by sculptor Louise Nevelson, while its Wyeth Center features works of N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. Two National Register historic sites, the Farnsworth Homestead and the Olson House, and Julia’s Gallery for Young Artists complete the museum complex. Please visit http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org for more information on current exhibitions, programs and events.

Good to be busy.

In the meantime, I've had a few workshops. The Florida workshop was fun.
Weather was super and got a few paintings finished.

Niagara Falls - Day in an Artists Studio

American Contemporary plein air painter.

Valentine Workshop one day only...come with a friend and enjoy a mini holiday in the middle of winter in my studio with a cozy fire and tons of genuine inspiration to fire your creativity !

I often have people stop and watch me paint & most times tell me they wish they could paint or want me to know they could never draw anything but a stick figure. Bet you may have had that happen, too. The myth is, this is what people have been told - the truth is everyone is creative and everyone can use creativity to better their lives.

The "Day in an Artist's Studio" is one of the most different workshops that I offer. I base the workshop on the experience...
First, starting with actually working at my studio, then engaging a relaxing, informal atmosphere with a cozy fire in the fireplace, soft inspirational music, a colorful & interesting subject to work from...then add in the opportunity to paint with M. Graham fabulous oil paints and we'll be serving a light lunch & perhaps enjoy a cup or two of gourmet coffee or tea. In this relaxing atmosphere,conducive to creativity, you will also receive the instruction and encouragement to be able to paint your own oil painting, whether or not you've ever picked up a brush before. This workshop is all about the experience and the realization that you can utilize any form of creativity to communicate and reduce stress in your everyday life.

Let me show you, you already have everything you need to be creative.

American Contemporary Plein Air Painter - that time of year

American Contemporary plein air painter.

If I can, I do...I don't 'need' more stuff...but a full heart would be nice.

All year long our studio supports the community- Rotary,Project Share,Welland & District Humane Society,Poor Boy, etc., but this time of year, it's more important than ever. In The Northeast, the need accelerates because the cold adds another hurtle for charities. I, myself, can't think of a thing that would mean more to me in the form of a gift. Please consider giving to local charities.
In Niagara - please consider the Niagara Falls Humane Society or maybe Last Chance Horse and Pony Rescue that cares for horses and ponies no longer wanted.
