New Exhibition in Portsmouth NH

Hello summer! This spring I’ve been working on a new series of Village paintings titled ‘Freedom to Be’. These are always popular with fans of my art as I have fun with rearranging reality as I weave familiar imagery together to form new views of life by the waterfront. Portsmouth and Provincetown Massachusetts were the first places I worked with to pull imagery together to form my own view of village life. I’ve created over 40 paintings each with different arrangements of details and overall design. I hope you’ll consider stopping by the Opening Reception on Friday July 11th to view my newest work at KennedyGalleryandCustomFraming located at 41 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH 603-436-7007.

NEW! ‘Demo & Chat’ during the ‘Local Love’ Portsmouth business event at the gallery on Thursday, July 17th, 5-8pm. I’ll have my sketchbooks for you to peruse, demonstrate techniques I use in my work, and of course answer any questions you have about my life as an artist. It’s always my pleasure to speak with my fans–no matter if you’ve purchased my work or are considering a purchase. I’d love to meet you. Please bring a friend and enjoy talking art. Thank you, Ann Contact me at anntrainordomingue.com

Lesson learned: Keep painting.

Bridge over the Piscataqua River

18771 Village on the Piscataqua Portsmouth acryl canv 30x30 sm

Village on the Piscataqua, Portsmouth NH; acrylic on canvas, 30×30.  Available soon at Kennedy Gallery, Portsmouth

Bridge work has been ongoing for many years as needed repairs and replacements are done over the fast moving waters that join New Hampshire and Maine. We all depend on these critical crossings to get where we want to go. Some inconveniences and longer routes are simply part of living in a seacoast community as residents and tourists depend on the success of these impressive construction projects completed via cooperative arrangements between our two states.

As an artist I am also impressed by the design of the bridges and how they visually create connections from wide expanses of sky and water toward the grounded village communities at the bases. In this painting I have used the arched curve to tower over the village below as work and worship and play continues on daily in the cool shadows. Here’s hoping for a successful bridge-opening this summer as the new Sarah Long Bridge welcomes travelers again.

Lesson learned: Patience in building a strong bridge is paramount.

My treasure, someone else’s trash

p1160709

Found along back road of Concord/Bow NH

Broken down, unpainted, overgrown, rusty, messy. All the right elements for me to put on the brakes and stop the car.

Listed in no particular order: variety of warm and cool grays, strong verticals of trees and barn boards, haphazardly placed metal roofing piece, way-passed-usefulness–except for an artist–pickup truck, early fall dried branches of overgrown weeds and brambles that soften the hard edges of the non-natural forms of the truck and trash. And the splash of blue tarp color always a must.

No real plans for this beauty yet, but the wheels are turning…
