Fine Art, Craft & Wine
Come visit with Nancy West and C. Keith Whitelock to hear about what inspires their painting. Nancy is showing her sumi-e ink paintings and Keitth is water colors. Other artists with work being shown are Kenneth Browne, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Jim Rehak, Fred Sprock and Christie Taylor. This is a mix of recent plein air and studio paintings.
Featuring Nancy West’s sumi-e paintings illustrates the diversity in her work. Nancy is a plein air and studio artist who works in oil, watercolor, ink and pastel. She uses mixed media and has recently ventured into using gouache. Her subject matter seldom varies from the world around her, be it at home or while traveling. Almost every subject has been on her easel – landscapes, wildlife, still life, children, figures and sumi-e.
C. Keith Whitelock’s Chesapeake Bay marine paintings are easily recognized by his attention to detail in his Images of working boats, derelict boats and the surrounding shorelines and marshes. Working in watercolors, oils, and occasionally acrylics, he tries to present a realistic image of a rapidly disappearing lifestyle. To get the right feeling and accuracy, Keith builds small models and crews on the retired skipjack, Ida May, which will be racing, in the Deal Island Labor Day Skipjack race.
Other artists with work being shown are Lois Engberg, Kenneth Browne, Amanda Lind, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Jim Rehak, Fred Sprock and Christie Taylor. This is a mix of recent plein air and studio paintings.
Stop by Friday September 1 from 5 until 8 to see the work of Meg Walsh and Nancy West. Other paintings by Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Linda Perry and Keith Whitelock are being shown. tastingMeg Meg Walsh
C. Keith Whitelock will be showing with us in June. His classic Chesapeake Bay Maritime paintings celebrate the work of the watermen and the beauty of the bay shoreline. Visit with him during the opening reception.
We continue to feature the work of our artists with the focus on a different artist each month. In December we will show the work of C. Keith Whitelock. As a native of Somerset County, Deal Island, Crisfield and the surrounding shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay region planted the inspiration for his paintings and drawings. Favorite subjects are the weathered working boats and decaying derelicts that so often accent the surrounding marsh. Working in watercolors, oils, and occasionally acrylics, Whitelock often presents an image of a rapidly disappearing lifestyle. His work is full of realism and always has a story to tell.
Keith did a video of the show in December. Use this link to get to Facebook Live. Express your interest in the event and you will get a reminder. We have some of the paintings in the show in a Facebook Album. You can also check his website and his YouTube channel to see his work and his watercolor workshops. Anyone interested in any of the work in our show may send a Facebook message or email [email protected].
Visit with C. Keith Whitelock as he shows his latest work focusing on life along the waters of the Eastern Shore.
To start our 17th year Bishop’s Stock will feature the work of C. Keith Whitelock in November. As a native of Somerset County, Whitelock never tires of Eastern Shore landscapes and his commitment to preserving the area’s culture. Those who know his work know his favorite subjects are the weathered working boats and decaying derelicts that so often accent the surrounding marsh and harbors. Working in watercolors, oils, and occasionally acrylics, Whitelock’s attention to detail presents a realistic image of a rapidly disappearing lifestyle. His paintings always have a story that he enjoys sharing
This month Bishop’s Stock is featuring the work by artists who consistently offered new work to the gallery. It is a pleasure to group them together to show the diversity of their work in oil and watercolor. All live within 30 miles of each other but the imagery and subjects they paint are diverse but all with Eastern Shore feeling.
Our feature in October shows recent work by 6 gallery artists – Lois Engberg, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Nancy Mysak, Nancy West, Keith Whitelock. Bishop’s Stock is pleased to have these artists show with us throughout the year but their work deserves to appear more often. We have found a group show gives a wonderful appreciation for the great talent we show. Each artist will have a selection of new work. Included will be a number of small studies by Lynne Lockhart.
Visit with C. Keith Whitelock and find out more about the work he is showing during June.
