24" x 36", oil on canvas, 2010, private collection Tonight is the opening of Art in the County , but I have to miss out on the festivities as I'm also a projectionist at The Regent Theatre , and I'm showing the latest Broadway production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." This is my entry for this year's AitC based on a photo I took last summer driving around the county looking for beautiful scenes to paint (needless to say, there were plenty...and still more left unphotographed). This is the first thing I shot at Karlo Estates while visiting Richard Karlo and Sherry Martin. They're great folks and Richard makes the best (and PEC's only) port I've ever had. I seriously can't shut up about the stuff. Sherry's an accomplished artist herself and runs a life drawing class on Wednesday nights during the warmer months (they're held in a loft space in the barn depicted above, which isn't winterized...
Milê Murtanovski's artwork...mostly paintings...and the occasional scale model.
