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.

Loving Springtime

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but all for good reasons. I’ve been focusing on painting a new group of works for my upcoming feature exhibition at the Portland Art Gallery in Maine. Spring is finally in the air here in New Hampshire after a very cold and snowy winter. I love working in the wintertime as it offers more quiet time than other seasons of the year. This gives me a chance to review recent work and make plans for new directions. Some artists wing it and throw caution to the wind. Others take some time to figure out how recent work can be a springboard for upcoming artworks. I’m in that category working in sketchbooks and playing with color and techniques until I feel a fresh approach appearing. Then it’s time to come out of hibernation and get to work.

Lesson learned: Have a sketchbook continually being filled with both good and bad ideas.

Another Good Day

‘Another Good Day’, acrylic on canvas, 40″ x 60″, available now at Portland Art Gallery, Maine

A new studio has inspired me to create in a new way, a bit different from my recent work. My new space is much larger, with great lighting and plenty of space to breathe. Although I miss my small quaint studio space I have had since 2013, it will always be where I allowed myself to begin to make the art I’ve wanted to make. And now I’ll continue on that journey with more elbow room and excitement. NEW: I have an exhibition of new works coming up in April 2024! Opening reception is on Thursday, April 4th, 5-7pm. Please stop by and say hello, I’d love to meet you and speak with you about what you love about my work. Thank you, Ann

Lesson learned: Big light-filled dreams are possible.

‘Altogether Good’ art exhibition

‘Altogether Good’ art exhibition statement:

“I believe in the goodness of people. Despite recent world issues it comes down to local people being good and doing good for others. Sharing the burdens of life and trying to make life a bit better for stranger or friend. Though this thinking may seem too simple or trite, when I see a small good being done for someone else, it helps me believe that goodness matters. My work is frequently about a small bit of life that may seem inconsequential at first glance, but in light of the huge problems we face, every little bit may mean a world of difference to someone else.” — Ann Trainor Domingue

I hope to see you at Kennedy Gallery during Art ‘Round Town gallery event! Find me at 41 Market St, Portsmouth, NH. Friday November 4th, 5-8pm.

New Hampshire ‘Color Love’

opening postcard web 5x5 GWren

Two artist friends and I are showing our work together this September!
‘Color Love’– 3 artists 3 visions is a 3-person show of our colorful artworks– intensely-colored abstract watercolor collages by Ethel Hills, bold impressive wildlife-inspired paintings by Rosemary Conroy, and my Ann Trainor Domingue New England life inspired paintings and watercolors. It promises to be a wonderful exhibit of three very different takes on ‘Color Love’ –where we each  internalize how color influences our work–and then create an inspiring variety of images for you to see and feel, and then possibly find an artwork so special you must take it home!

Please join us at the opening reception on Friday, September 7th, 5-7 at the Gallery at WREN in Bethlehem, New Hampshire.

‘Muse of the Sea’ Back Story

18933 Muse of the Sea wc on paper 11x15 sm

Muse of the Sea, 11×15, watercolor on paper

Every once in a while I work on an idea for no particular reason, with no particular outcome in mind. I had done some sketches and small watercolors using a mermaid as the main feature. I continued working to find a look for the mermaid ‘muse’ that for me was more real–but not realistic. Imperfections and all.

The way watercolor works provides beautiful accidental back runs, blooms and bleeds, blends and stains. Its one media that has a mind of its own yet provides unintentional options to an artist like myself who loves the unplanned happenings of color and water. For instance the soft greenish color of the mermaid’s arms appeared as I was scraping the lines of the drawing through wet color. I liked the way they provided a shadow-like sense in the foreground and brought a dusky feel to the piece. I’ll be exploring this further…

Lesson learned: Let water be watery.

I am very happy to invite you to join me at the opening night of ‘Shining Through’ by Ann Trainor Domingue— my new series of work inspired by my longstanding curiosity and attraction of waterfront life and how I connect visually and spiritually with this beautiful space at the edge of the land and sea.

The opening reception will be held at the beautiful George Marshall Store Gallery located at 10 Lindsay Road, York, Maine on Saturday, July 14th, 5-7, exhibition runs through August 19th.

The gallery building is part of Old York Historical Society that works to preserve and promote the rich history of York. The Gallery is located on the York River with a working dock and shack right behind the gallery on the wharf– a beautiful location in any season.

I hope you will join me as I exhibit many of my newest works all tied to my fascination with waterfront spirit. Please share my invite with those you know who love the all things coastal. Thank you and hope you’ll stop by to say hello–it means a lot to me to have your support.
