March 2018: Works on Paper – Paintings and Drawings

(Portland, ME) Richard Boyd Art Gallery opens an annual exhibition of original paintings and drawings on Friday, March 2 at 10:00 a.m.

The exhibit explores works by artists creating art on a time honored raw product – paper. An unforgiving surface around for centuries paper reveals the artist’s proficiency in creating visual art.

The show includes a selection of original works in watercolor, acrylic, graphite, mixed media and pastels created en plein air and in studio settings depicting a range of scenes in a variety of styles.

Works on Paper: Paintings and Drawings features new work by artist Patricia Chandler – acrylic, graphite and mixed media; and works by artists’ Randy Eckard – watercolor; Julianne Garvey – watercolor; and Bob Santandrea– pastels.

The exhibit is on view free of charge between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through March 30, 2018. Additional days and times by chance or scheduled by appointment.

Richard Boyd Art Gallery is located on Peaks Island at the corner of Island Avenue and Epps Street.
