Over the course of my painting career, I have concentrated on three genres – figures, landscape and abstract – with varying emphasis at different times. All three genres have permitted me to explore and develop those aspects of painting that animate and drive me most: composition, form, color, light and what the French call “facture” –handling or workmanship. For me, the extent to which those aspects are successfully addressed will determine whether the painting has expressed or conveyed a content.
Thus with the landscapes, more often than not driven by architectural objects, the subject of the painting is the shapes, forms and volumes that carry and convey the light and color; the actual place – France, Portugal, New England – is almost incidental. - Andy Newman

"How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" - E.M. Forster
Painting in the place I go to, to "see what I say." It is a blank space of paper or canvas to fill with images, impressions and whatever it is that I have learned or imagined in the world I live in. It's a world of discipline and accident. A world of form and color, dissonance and harmony. A world of silence and music and an occasional bit of poetry. - Phyllis Demong

Come celebrate the opening of June's Featured Artist Exhibit as we host a reception for photographer Jon Olsen on Friday, June 10th, during the Middlebury Arts Walk.
“I have always been an amateur naturalist and a student of the visual arts. I enjoy exploring the landscape and its many components. I find the variations in light, form, texture and color fascinating, with endless possibilities for study and observation. I am generally drawn toward the pastoral and simplicity in design.”
Jon's work will be on display through June 30th.

Carolyn Letvin first began painting the ancient, biblical breed of Jacob's Sheep while attending a painting retreat to focus on cows. She found the sheep's intricacies, textures and negative spaces fast became endlessly inspiring, eventually becoming her primary subject matter. Trained in Flemish Old Master techniques, studying the sheep allows her to explore application, composition and surface texture in an entirely captivating, satisfying manner.
Join Edgewater Gallery on Friday, April 1, from 4pm-6pm as we celebrate the opening of Carolyn's "Featured Artist" exhibition (on display through April 30).
"The act of painting is a series of constant surprises – an experience that is always exhilarating and, at times, even magical. Bringing composition, color, surface and light quality together is my continual struggle and challenge. " - Carolyn Letvin
Carolyn’s Featured Artist exhibition will be on display at Edgewater throughout the month of April.

 'Cortona' Oil on canvas, 36' x 30'  'Assisi I' Oil on canvas 30' x 24' Ray Brown's current collection of paintings are a reaction and relation to his surroundings, most specifically Tuscany and its hill towns, which he recently toured. Brown's painterly concerns with his process, freedom from routine, and paint application have led him to create a change in the structure of his compositions, resulting in the collection of abstracts we now have in the gallery.
