“Outside Insights” Plein Talk with Kathleen Dunphy
Saturday, June 4, 2022, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
.
LPAPA is proud to present a special “Artist in Residence” Plein Talk and Exhibition at the LPAPA Gallery by LPAPA Signature Artist Kathleen Dunphy on Saturday June 4th, 6-8pm. “Outside Insights” will include major studio paintings and the field work that inspired them (Exhibition Dates: June 2 – July 4, 2022).

Creating a major studio painting takes more than just the desire to paint. Hours of research to find an inspiring location, time in the field to paint plein air studies, weeks of design work while the idea percolates, and days (or sometimes even months) of painting all go into creating the final product.

But so often in the art world, we only see the end result of an artist’s creation: the finished painting hanging in a beautiful frame. What goes on behind the scenes to make that painting happen? How does the artist get the idea? What happens during the planning process? Where does she even start?

In this special Plein Talk presentation, Kathleen Dunphy will take you behind the scenes to share her painting process from inception to final painting. Her “Outside Insights” LPAPA Gallery exhibition will include 4-5 larger studio paintings, as well as the field work that inspired and informed the paintings: plein air studies, sketchbook drawings, notes from her journal, and photographs of her time in the field. Learn how one artist approaches her work in this informative and engaging talk and exhibit.
