Thanks to the tireless efforts of some of our east coast compatriots, plans are coming together for an exhibition of work from the recent trip to be held at The Cape Cod Museum of Art in January 2009, followed by an exhibition at nearby Addison Art Gallery in February. Check out the nice video clip of the trip put together by Jeremy Lipking. For more about the trip from some of the other artists, check out Frank Gardner’s blog and Colin Page’s journal. Make your travel plans to Cape Cod now, because the artists are hard at work creating some great art to see in January!

Great color in those Eric. You really got the color of Monhegan down. Love the Manana Island there behind the house.
I posted my painting of you. The same day as that top photo here.
Hey, aren’t you the Fiddler?
Sounds like it’ll be an incredible exhibition. Wish I could go!
Fantastic painting by the way!
Thanks for the nice comments. That was a fun afternoon, and I think towards evening everyone was painting right around the lighthouse. Ha, I was quite well documented, painting there; and honored to be the subject of your post, Frank. I’m thinking about putting together a post on the importance of umbrellas, too.
Hi Eric! I’m glad to see you’re still traveling and painting (+ umbrella). I see a fair amount of overlap in our palettes.
