February 6 - 28- Jim Graham - From Away

Opening Reception : Friday, Feb. 6th, 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Where else can you witness such marvels of Mother Nature as a tremendous icecap and several glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming solfataras, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls, a multitude of birds, cavorting whales just offshore and many other surprises. Jim Graham, Pulitzer prize nominated and Delaware native, is bringing his next adventure back home. Exploring Iceland during the comfortable (there) summer month of August will be a visual feast to enjoy during our damp winter. Hardcastle Gallery is pleased to once again feature Jim’s photography to kick off the second half of the exhibition season. Join us!!

Painting the Figure in the Landscape: Annette Alessi will be demonstrating the figure of a child and incorporate it into a beach scene using pastels with some explanation as she goes encouraging questions while in the process. With an extensive background in the figure, she will explain the proper proportions of the human figure, and in this case a child, in order to enhance the simple plein aire painting and make believable the figures in the scene.
