Conn Gallery in Landrum, SC, Features Works by 3 Artists
Conn Gallery in Landrum, SC will host the exhibit, Lazy Summer Days, featuring works by Lenore Bamett, Mark Haines, and Kate Thayer, on view from July 10 through Aug. 27, 2004.
Lenore Barnett resides in Hendersonville, NC. She has lived and shown all over the US; her resume is long and impressive. She paints in oils, acrylics, colored pencils and pastel. Her work is divers. Barnett paints landscapes, mountain scenes, farm scenes, cityscapes, small towns, backyards, low country and boating scenes. Her work is warm and reminiscent of scenes from everyone's life.
Mark Haines, also from Hendersonville, works in oil and watercolor. He paints small landscapes in both media, inviting the viewer to take an intimate perspective of his work. Haines especially likes the pastel qualities of oils on unprirned watercolor paper. His style has been referred to as "Painterly Realism". Haines' work has been shown in Southern California; Hilton Head, SC; Lexington, KY; and Hendersonville.
Kate Thayer is primarily a self-taught pastelist. One of her current mentors is Albert Handell (master pastelist). Her background in art ranges from designing clothing, interior and garden design, cooking, watercolors, and finally pastels. She has studied the paintings and techniques of the masters, but is always in search of inspiration from new methods. Thayer's landscapes are peaceful and remind us of the beauty that surrounds us in the Carolinas. In her words. "What is familiar is what we fail to see, and that is where nature, at its most exciting, hides".
So come and see the "Summer Time" works of these artists who so value our surroundings, and bring those views back to us so that we can appreciate them again.
