A new exhibition of paintings by Harry Seymour opens at Carol Craven Gallery with a reception for the artist on Sunday, August 22, from 5 to 7 p.m. and the public is welcome.
This will be Mr. Seymour’s second exhibition at the gallery, and he will present his most recent works of egg tempera paintings and scratchart etchings. He draws his inspiration from the beauty of the Vineyard as well as its richly diverse multicultural community.
As a landscape painter, Allen Whiting can feel the seasons. He has an eye for light and movement that can make you hear the wind howl in the dead of January at South Beach, or feel the spring sunshine bounce off the oak trees in Chilmark in April. Mr. Whiting has been painting for almost 40 years, and he knows his strengths and weaknesses.
And for him, summer is not a time to paint.
New York political comedian Scott Blakeman presents A Liberal Dose of Political Humor, bringing his political humor from a liberal Jewish point of view to the Grange Hall in West Tisbury, on Saturday, August 28 at 8 p.m.
