VanGogh visits Boston!

The Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation), has graciously lent The Sower, painted in the town of Arles in southern France in November of 1888.

The juxtaposition of these paintings is part of an ongoing series of encounters with great art from museums and private collections across the world—a series called “Visiting Masterpieces.” The Museum’s goal is to bring to Boston carefully chosen works by artists and cultures of all places and periods, in order to enliven our galleries and to allow our audiences the chance to see renowned objects in the context of our collections. The two Sowers—by Millet and by van Gogh—have never before been seen together in Boston. The Museum welcomes this “visitor” to an installation that includes three works by van Gogh from the MFA collection

Saturday workshop!

I'm offering a painting workshop at Gallery9 this Saturday!!

Here are the specs:

Workshop: Plein Air Painting Norwood
Date: Saturday, June 12th from 9am-3pm
Rain date: Saturday, June 19th from 9am-3pm

Instructor: Kim Morin Weineck
Gallery9 at custom art framing
45 Central Street, Norwood, MA 02062

$90 includes handouts, painting demo, surprise supplies,
and individual instruction in a group setting

Painting outdoors or ‘en plein air’ is an exciting activity for
professional and novice painters. Working on location has numerous
advantages and creates some site-specific problems. In this workshop
artists will paint in downtown Norwood and leave the workshop with a
completed painting (or maybe even more than one!)

We’ll start the day early at Gallery9 with a painting demonstration.
During the demo, we’ll discuss locations to consider and offer
specific outdoor techniques. Artists are then welcome to spend the
rest of the day painting---with a lunch break (you provide
lunch)---until we stop for critique in the afternoon. During the
free-paint, instruction will be offered to each individual in an
ongoing, rotating basis.

Artists of all mediums are most welcome to participate. Completed
paintings may be on display at the gallery.
Surprise Supplies include some tools designed to make your ‘plein
air’ painting experience go smoothly and will help you plan your
painting. Also included is a coupon for framing at Custom Art Framing.

Instructor Kim Morin Weineck is Gallery Director at Gallery9 at
Custom Art Framing and is an artist and teacher. She has offered
numerous workshops in everything from ‘finding your artist’s voice’ to
‘abstract expressionism’ during her nearly ten years in art
instruction. Kim holds a degree in Fine Art from MassArt with special
study at the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art, a RISD affiliated
program. For more on Kim’s work, please see her blog at
bretonbleu.blogspot.com or visit Gallery9.
