PAINTING NEAR AND FAR: Lynn Anderson, Kathleen Kalinowski + Judith Tummino
The paintings in our show reflect the sheer love of the landscape tradition. Traveling together and sometimes separately, we each interpret the world through our own unique perspective. Our paintings serve as an invitation for the viewer to experience the beauty in nature, near or far, which is so abundant in our lives.
LYNN: Painting outside has become my passion and joy. Following what the French Impressionists started in the 1800's, I explore my own interpretation of their immediate painting style. I approach a landscape first looking for a passage of light, followed by a study of the unifying color. Then a period of frantic painting frenzy begins. I paint as fast as I can giving myself no more than a three hour window to capture the light before it changes into some "else" and I lose the moment.

KATHLEEN: As a landscape painter, traveling and exploring new places is exciting, especially with the thought of interpreting those places into a painting. The challenge is always to portray a sense of place with the local colors, the topography and ambiance of the light. I prefer to paint directly from life whenever possible. Plein air paintings, field notes and photos help to bring ideas back to revisit in the studio. Like an old friend, I have favorite local landscapes to return to paint. Inspiration is everywhere if you look with an artist's eye.
JUDITH: When I am drawn to a motif I then seek to search for planes in the landscape. l look for the differences and similarities and attempt to capture them in my work. I often find that a feeling of calm emerges in my pursuit of a particular area which causes me to want to return again.
