Ken Knowles

Little Long Pond, MDI

12 x 24 Oil on Board

Kenneth J. Knowles is a well established talent, known widely throughout New England for his work in landscape impressionism. On a normal day, Knowles spends four to eight hours outside working on the beginning stages of one or two paintings. At any given time, he has as many as 15 projects in progress. He then brings the paintings into his studio for what can be days or months worth of 'finish' before he feels they are complete. "There are several ways to finish a painting, from just a few touches to weeks of adding texture and depth."

Ken was 17 years old when he sought out artists to teach him including well-known Rockport artists T.M. Nicholas and Stapleton Kearns. Later he studied also under John Terelak. He is a member of the Rockport Art Association. His awards include the Silver Brush Award from the American Art Association, the Edward and Elizabeth Schlemm Memorial Award for exceptional landscape in oil, and the Freda Gallery Award. Born in 1968, he is one of the strongest young American landscape painters.

Peter Bela Mayer is primarily known for his impressionist works of the New England landscape and locations near his home on Long Island at Port Washington. He was born in Hungary and added the name Peter in the 1940s to avoid confusion with female painters. From 1908 to 1915, he studied at the National Academy of Design. He first earned public attention in 1914 when one of his pieces was shown at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC. During the 1920s, he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Brooklyn Museum. Source: 300 Years of American Art, by Michael David Zellman

He lived in New York City early in the 20th century, settling upstate in Wassaic New York around 1917.In the 1930s he was honored in his mature years to be included in the New York State WPA Art Project, with its emphasis on artistic renderings of historic buildings to record them in their settings for posterity -- thus his late impressionist oils of old stone houses along rivers in New York's Columbia and Dutchess Counties.

Valley Farm

by Brad Betts

8 x 10 oil on canvas

Brad Betts paints a variety of landscape scenes from Maine’s dramatic shoreline. His paintings reflect his deep appreciation for the works of many fine artists, including Edward Hopper and the nautical scenes of John Stobart. Brad has been an artist for over 15 years and received his education from the University of Maine in Orono.  He comes from a long line of artists that includes his father and grandparents. He has studied with Carolyn Blish and Don Demers and is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists. Brad loves the challenge of painting on location. “There is nothing like sitting in front of a Maine scene and painting it, when you hear the sounds of waves and birds and you smell the sea you truly get to be a part of the painting.” Brad hopes to give his viewers a sense that they too are a part of his scenes.
