Meet Fruitlands Museum’s Artist-in-Residence Richard Kattman and tour his new exhibit of abstract paintings.  Some of Richard’s works are inspired by natural elements—sea, wind, sand, grass, sky, flowers, fields, woods, gardens and night stars. Some canvases are his views of the earth as it appears from space. Some are drawn from infinite places located within his subconscious. Others are explorations he takes at the speed of light to places he imagines in deep outer space. These artworks portray the fragility of life and the known universe. The exhibit will run through August 10.

On Sunday, June 29, from 2 – 4, Richard will give a formal presentation and demonstration on abstract painting, free with museum admission.  On Wednesday, July 9, from 10 – 3, attend an Abstract Landscape Painting class.  This one day plein air workshop will cover the steps of capturing the essentials of the Fruitlands landscape in acrylics on canvas.  All skill levels are welcome.  Registration required.  Email Melissa at mkershaw@fruitlands.org.  Museum members $100, nonmembers $110.
