We were up with Charles Movalli and Dale Ratcliff on Monday, June 28. Natalie filmed an interview of sorts with Charles while a recently adopted bunny, Betsy, hopped around the studio and we all sweltered a bit in the unusually hot and humid Massachusetts air. Cape Ann is a beautiful place with a painting waiting to be painted around every curve, corner, and rock. No wonder it has been the residence of remarkable painters for more than 200 years. We are pleased to have returned with several new paintings. Although they look pretty darned good here, nothing beats seeing them in person. We hope to see you at the gallery to really enjoy them.
“On the face of it, the easiest of all activities should be seeing what we see. In reality, it’s the hardest. ” (Charles Movalli)
Charles will be joining us in October as Judge for the Oil Painters of America 2010 Eastern Regional Juried Exhibition.
