I was recently asked by the Copley Society to submit 5 paintings
to a “Fellows Exhibition” featuring artists who participated in
one of the month long residencies offered each year
in Provincetwon and Gloucester, MA.
The prospectus reads:
”please submit a cohesive group of work,
varying in size, either created during the residency
or inspired by your time there.”
“Downtown Lookout”
16 x 16 oil
I did my residency in Gloucester in 2016,
where I focussed mainly on the working harbor as a subject.
So for this, I decided to focus on the architecture of Gloucester
and used images taken while there as reference.
The Paint Factory
12 x 12 oil
(I had to include the Paint Factory,
it’s motif #1 in Gloucester!)
My residency had a huge impact on my journey as an artist.
I learned so much about the art scene on the North Shore
and the opportunity to experiment and explore
new approaches and techniques
for a whole month uninterrupted, was priceless!
A great big thank you to the Copley Society of Boston!
