ART OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM XV   &   SMALL WORKS
Bennington Center for the Arts,  Bennington, VT  -  June 12 to August 8, 2010

This is the 15th annual 'Art of the Animal Kingdom' exhibition of wildlife and nature art at the Bennington Center, and I will be represented this year by two paintings, including Beaver Dam Thaw.  You can view the entire show online at the BCA's website, but that's no substitute for seeing the work in person!  The show opens with a reception, lectures, and other events on Saturday, June 13.

Also opening on that same weekend in June is the annual exhibition of smaller artwork, displayed in the gallery entrance to the theater and Covered Bridge Museum at the Bennington Center.  I will have two small plein air landscapes hanging in that show, as well, and they will remain on display throughout the season.

PLEIN AIR EASTON   -  6th Annual Competition and Arts Festival
Easton, MD   -  July 19 - 25, 2010

This will be my third summer participating in this amazing frenzy of plein air painting.  Of the increasingly popular plein air festivals, Easton is one of the largest and is surely  the most prestigious of the eastern events.  Nearly 60 top-notch landscape painters from across the country will gather in this quaint community on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on July 19 and spend the following days painting... dawn to dusk.  By the end of the week each of us will have  accumulated a body of new work to offer for sale.  Cumulatively there are probably more than 500 new paintings finished that week!  During the weekend of July 24-25 the Festival has scheduled an array of receptions, exhibits, and demonstrations, as well as the very popular "Quick Draw" event on Saturday morning.  Works by the official 60 juried artists remains on display at The Academy Art Museum throughout the weekend.

For additional information and tickets to the events visit  Plein Air Easton. 

To browse through examples of my work from the past two festivals, see the Maryland (Easton) collection in the ARTWORK portfolio here on my website.
