Stuart Shils Lecture

I attended a slideshow lecture by Stuart Shils 

at Concord Art a few weeks ago. 

He is an engaging speaker 

and incredibly enthusiastic about painting.

Grey Day Roof Tops 

8 x 10 oil 

It was a grey day without any light and shadow pattern 

so I decided to make this about the shapes and edges.

I am discovering so many new contemporary artists 

via the Concord Art Association. 

I'm going to an opening tonight - 

"Responding to Place" featuring 

15 outstanding artists, 

including Wolf Kahn, Stuart Shils and Lois Dodd. 

It will be up until August 16 so stop in if you are out that way!
