PAINTING ON MONHEGAN 2012

VIEW FROM THE ED JOHNSON HOUSE
MONHEGAN, MAINE

THE EVENTS OF A FORTNIGHT!

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012

So excited to have over two weeks to paint on Monhegan. Alex Tyng and I have two artists joining us, Phoebe Peterson from Virginia and Nancy Walton from Massachusetts. Tropical storm Lesley has been producing swells so we had our Dramamine ready, but it was a good ride out to Monhegan with artist, Phoebe Peterson. We are on Horn Hill again in the Ed Johnson house. Some nice improvements in the house with two new mattresses and internet!

The Dowling Walsh Gallery is offering a 22-page color catalog of my show Right Here: New Maine Paintings for the very reasonable price of $5. You can pick one up at the gallery, or contact Jake Dowling at 207-596-0084 or at info@dowlingwalsh.com if you would like one sent to you via mail.

The catalog includes 20 color reproductions and an essay by Carl Little, author of Edward Hopper's New England and other books. His article on Fairfield Porter and James Schuyler appears in the 2011 Island Journal.

Alexandra Tyng's Upcoming Show at Dowling Walsh Gallery

I know it's a while until summer, but I wanted to let anyone who reads this blog know that I'll be having a one-person show at the Dowling Walsh Gallery in August (opening August 5th). The title of the show is still a work in progress. At some point close to the opening date, I'll be giving a gallery talk on my work. I'll be posting more specific information in the next couple of months.

The paintings will range from large aerial panoramas to figures in settings. I am focusing on three geographic areas: the Camden/Rockport area, Monhegan, and Mt Desert Island. Stay tuned!
