  • Thursday, June 27, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm – Artist’s Reception with Jonathan David MacAdam

    Jonathan David MacAdam is an internationally known artist who was born in London and lived there ten years before coming to the United States.  He is a graduate of Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., where he studied painting and sculpture with a concentration in painting. MacAdam also studied Italian Renaissance art, literature, and architecture in Orvieto, Italy. Recently, he traveled throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland where he painted commissioned landscapes. He has many paintings in private collections throughout New England. MacAdam’s exhibit will feature recent paintings which are reflections at dusk on gardens and fields. MacAdam focuses on ambiguous moments of movement. The landscape is seen from the perspective of a moment of flux. The images invite contemplation of the subtleties of the land and invoke wonder at the familiar.  His recent paintings are on view at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive, Boylston, through July 28, and you may meet him at an artist’s reception on Thursday, June 27, from 6 – 7:30.  The reception is free and open to the public.  For directions, visit www.towerhillbg.org.

  • Saturday, August 14, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Plein Air in the Arboretum: Paintings by the NHPleinAir Artists

    Join the artists participating in the Arnold Arboretum’s current exhibit Plein Air in the Arboretum: Paintings by the NHPleinAir Artists for a short presentation and Q&A session on Saturday, August 14, from 1:00–3:00pm.
    Since last fall, intrepid painters from NHPleinAir have been making regular pilgrimages to the Arnold Arboretum, braving the elements—and the traffic!—to realize their collective and individual visions. The works in this exhibition feature the trees and landscapes of the Arboretum captured en plein air (“in the open air”) throughout the seasons. The group was founded in 2004 and has over 300 members who paint outside regularly throughout New England.  The show will be in the Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall from August 7 – September 19, 2010.  For more information, log on to www.arboretum.harvard.edu.
