New Work by Lynne Lockhart & Kirk McBride
It is a sure sign that spring is here when Bishop’s Stock features new work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride. Since 2007 our spring season has truly started with Lynne and Kirk’s show. It is really hard to express the gratitude we have for their commitment to the gallery. During the fall and winter they create new work in their studios and then let us offer our patrons a “first look” at their wonderful paintings. Check the albums on Bishop’s Stock’s Facebook page and you will understand why we love getting ready for this show. While they are drawn to different subjects and paint different sizes their technical skills with light, shadow and form never miss the mark.
Opening Reception & Wine Tasting for New Work by Gallery Artists
New Work by Gallery Artists Featured in March
New Work by Gallery Artists
March is a great time to show new work by our artists. Some of the paintings are fresh off the easel while others were done in recent months. It is always interesting to see what imagery and subjects come off their canvases and paper. Some of our artists stay with the same medium and representational subjects while others explore different techniques and vary what they want to paint. It is always refreshing to see what direction they take. Included in the show are Leslie Belloso, Carole Boggemann Peirson, Scot Dolby, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Jim Rehak, Fred Sprock, Roxanne Weidele and Nancy West.

Bishop’s Stock will open the spring season with the annual exhibit of new work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride, two of the area’s most recognized artists. The upcoming show includes studies and studio paintings by both artists. Lockhart has included classic small animal and bird studies in the show. McBride’s work includes a series of harbor boats from up and down the East Coast and iconic trucks from a trip to Sedona.
Lockhart is known for her images of animals in their natural surroundings as well as her animal portraits. She is an adventurous painter whose style ranges from surreal and illustrative to semi-impressionistic. Her work has an expressive quality of simplicity and freshness with great balance between light and realism. She “reads” her subjects capturing them in their natural environment as well as in imaginary situations.
McBride is constantly looking for moments to inspire his oil paintings. His work is inspired by his daily experiences and his travels. McBride is known for using light and shadow to create a unifying theme in his paintings. He successfully creates a mood and a sense of time and place whether the subjects are seascapes or mountains, city scenes or interior spaces.
Both artists will be participating for the tenth year in Paint Snow Hill April 19-21. McBride will be teaching a plein air workshop April 17 & 18.
