Susan Powell Fine Art in Madison, Connecticut, will present its 20th Summer in New England exhibition from July 1 through August 13. Gallery owner Susan Powell says, "The paintings in the show capture the unique light and atmosphere of the shoreline and New England's charm in summer."
Two moods of the ocean in the morning are captured in paintings by Deborah Quinn-Munson and Jeanne Rosier Smith.
The illusion of warm morning light in Quinn-Munson's Break of Day is attained by a coat of warm coral color glowing through subsequent layers of transparent paint, echoing the reflection of the rising sun on the surface of the water. Grasses and woods are suggested in tones of green as they remain in the shadow.
She says, "When I paint, I am interested in bold color, energetic line and strong composition to convey a powerful image filled with atmosphere and light. I enjoy the contrast between the spirited execution of a painting and the serenity and peacefulness of the scene."

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
