Carrie’s Painting of the Week – 8/3/10
Gaspe Cowscape
I am very excited about the upcoming paintout in Montgomery! It is this Saturday, (Aug. 7), and it promises to be a lot of fun.
A paintout involves a group of artists making paintings in a specific period of time, and in a specific place. Someone honks a horn or rings a bell or sounds an alarm, and the painters begin. A couple hours later, everyone stops. Then, we frame the pieces and hand them over, and they are auctioned off. It’s fun for the painters, the buyers and the onlookers.
On Saturday, the painting starts at 9 a.m. and continues until noon, in the historic village of Montgomery. You can watch artists paint, and also see and buy already finished paintings we’ll be displaying near our easels. Framing takes place from noon until 2 p.m. The auction will be at 4 p.m., in the Senior Center in Veterans Park. You can preview the work from 3-4 p.m. Afterwards, there’s a party and reception at the Wallkill River School on Route 17K (Ward St.)
It’s sure to be a fun day, and it’s a benefit, too, for the Village of Montgomery Bicentennial. It’s a great chance to meet some of the people associated with the Wallkill River School, as well.
For more information, call the Wallkill River School at 845-457-2747.
