Congratulations to artist Richard Page for winning the People's Choice award in our recent Primavera - The Art of Spring show at Exeter Town Hall.

"I had drawn a self portrait in 1974 as a student at UNH. I thought it would be fun to compare a self portrait done in 2026, 52 years later! Once I found the position I wanted to be in for the portrait, I set up a mirror, a light, my easel and paints so I could reach the canvas and palette without moving my head or hand. It was a little different being the model and painter simultaneously but I didn’t have to rush before the model's session ended and the price was right for the model's fee.”

June “Body Of Work” features are getting ready for display. Ann Brown, exhibiting artist, is our second with a show titled “Take Me To The Sea”. We’ve included 2 of these beautiful works here. Go to www.seacoastartist.org for SAA hours of operation.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
One of my favorite places is out at sea. We are lucky enough to have a boat and whether I’m heading out to the Isles of Shoals or beyond, I’m always filled with anticipation of what treasures we will discover. With my camera always at the ready, one can find endless images to spark creativity, both in photography and painting. The warm sun, the smell of the salted air and the sound of the ever moving water, it is an artist’s treasure chest of possibilities.

This BOW collection is an extension of moments out at sea, embracing wildlife, seascapes, lighthouses and some waves in between. I’m always taking notice of changing light, color, shadows or the constant movement that is surrounding me and my lens. From there, I let my imagination run free. This sampling is a glimpse of time spent out at sea…my happiest place to be!

June “Body Of Work” features are getting ready for display. Jane Copp, exhibiting artist, is one with a show titled “Flemish Flowers & More”. We’ve included 2 of these beautiful works here. Go to www.seacoastartist.org for SAA hours of operation.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Flemish flower painting flourished in the 17th century Netherlands where it combined botanical detail with dramatic compositions and symbolic meaning. “Impossible” bouquets were often created with flowers that bloomed at different times of the year, hence many of these historical paintings were not completed on sight but were inventive. The two large compositions I have here were painted on sight with flowers, sent to me by my oldest son, from a florist in Portsmouth, “Flowers by Leslie”. My fascination with this genre of painting stems from an interest in the fragile beauty of flowers and the joy they represent.

Primarily a painter of boats, landscapes and flowers, Jane works in both acrylic and oil paints, capturing the shapes, compositions and light that define her visions. Jane has a degree in art education from the University of New Hampshire and is the author of “Visual Arts for Middle Schools”. She maintains a studio in North Hampton, NH and exhibits her work here in Exeter and at Ceres Gallery and the NHAA in Portsmouth, NH.

Congratulations to Carol Potvin! Carol has won the People’s Choice Award for her oil painting oil “Sanibel Island Light” in this month's theme show titled “Plein Air”.

This is what Carol shared with us about her oil painting:
“Sanibel Island Light was painted on location while attending a plein air workshop with Ipswich artist Paul George. The historic lighthouse is also called Point Ybel Light, one of the first lighthouses on Florida's Gulf Coast, erected in 1884.”
