 ohnson
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:March 31\, 2023 - April 30\, 2023 Tubbs Gallery “Everywhere y
 ou turn\ntoday as you drive through our beautiful landscape\, another swat
 h of\nfarmland has morphed into a grand housing development permanently\nr
 eplacing the seasonal crops of green\, and then gold\, as well the\nmajest
 ic cows and livestock\, with vast acres of identical “homes at\nthe beac
 h.” The classic (and rich in history) architecture of barns\nand outbuil
 dings eliminated. Marshlands and their ecosystem filled in\nand replaced w
 ith retail. Hotels and Wawas usurping the skyline of\nonce charming towns.
  This exhibition will illustrate\, and perhaps\npreserve some of these los
 t\, and disappearing landscapes in\ncontemporary paintings.” “My work 
 is primarily focused on\nlandscapes. As a local artist\, growing up here a
 s well as living and\nworking here as an adult\, the beaches\, marshes\, f
 armland\, and all the\nbeauty of the Delaware bay watershed have constantl
 y beckoned to\, and\ninspired me. I always begin with a specific place in 
 mind\, working\nboth from photos\, and from direct observation\, but my ph
 ilosophy and\ntechnique embrace that the painting will evolve in its own w
 ay\, having\na life of its own. It is this “life” that I seek to captu
 re\, and\npreserve\, especially in this exhibit. “ Venue: Rehoboth Art L
 eague.
