Plein Air Paintings to Be Exhibited at Open Studio on Monhegan Island

Good Morning, Friends!

Beginning on Saturday 12 July, I will be exhibiting a number of plein air paintings that were done over the years on location on Monhegan Island, Maine. These works will be shown in my open studio on Fish Beach Road on the Island. If you're in the mid-coast area in July, hop on a boat out of one of three ports--Port Clyde, New Harbor, or Boothbay Harbor--and visit us out on The Rock!

Here is a sampling of some of the plein air paintings...

Good Morning, Friends!

I am excited to say that we are only a little over a week away from opening our studio on Monhegan Island, Maine!

The Open Studio:
As you may or may not know, Katharine Krieg (see www.katharinekrieg.com) and I will be sharing a studio on Fish Beach Road on Monhegan Island this summer. The studio will be open to the public daily from 12:00 noon until 3:00pm or by chance or by appointment. The dates of the open studio will be from Saturday 12 July until Friday 01 August 2014. If you are on the Island, please stop by and say hello; we'd love to chat with you. Both Katy and I will be out painting at various locations around the Island as well as in the studio.

Evening Receptions:
Looking for something to do during the evening hours? Watch for our announcements on the Island Rope Shed and on the Freight Shed on the dock as we will be having a couple of evening wine and cheese receptions in the studio. We look forward to meeting you and sharing stories of Monhegan!

Workshop:
Katharine Krieg will also be offering a three-day workshop on Monhegan on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 21-23 July.

Here is what Katy has to say about her workshop:
"This 3 day plein air workshop is about what goes into laying the groundwork, or armature, for a successful painting. Design, composition, value, shape placement, limited color palettes, and keeping things simple will be the focus throughout the 3 days. After a short demo in the morning, students will create paintings using knowledge discussed from the morning demo. Watercolor and oil mediums will be used although drawing will be demonstrated for creating field sketches. Group is kept small for individual attention."

Additional information is included in Katy's blog at www.katharinekrieg.blogspot.com.

There are still a couple of spots open. If you're interested, contact her through her web site at www.katharinekrieg.com for further information or to sign up. I'm sure that an informative and fun time will be had for all!

In Conclusion:
Look for us on Island during the month of July!
All for now. Until next time...
