Gary Pendleton to be Featured
During May Bishop’s Stock will celebrate plein air painting with work by Gary Pendleton from North Beach in Southern Maryland. Gary is the Past President of the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association and the author of 100 Plein Air Painters of the Mid-Atlantic, published in 2014 by Schiffer books. As a native Marylander he finds inspiration in every corner of the state, from the Chesapeake Bay to Appalachian Mountains and beyond. Whenever possible, he takes his easel out to paint in the towns, cities and natural areas. The regular practice of painting from life, “en plein air,” allows him to create the feeling of light and atmosphere in his paintings. His love of plein air painting also lead him to research and write about regional artists who share his interest.
100 Plein Air Painters of the Mid-Atlanticis a beautiful catalog of regional paintings. It is packed with over 400 color reproductions of work by some of today’s finest landscape artists, including Kirk McBride, Lynn Lockhart, David Diaz, Stan Sperlak, Carole Boggemann Pierson and Leslie Belloso. The book not only documents the contemporary art scene, it includes a concise history of landscape painting in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
Additionally the show will include Paint Snow Hill plein air paintings by a number of the artists included in the book – Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Nancy West, Meg Walsh, Lynne Mehta, David Diaz, Laura Howell, Mary Pritchard, Claudia Brookes and Desiree Holmes Scherini.
