As the Pandemic surged\, my husband and I scrambled to finish the house and move while he retired. I was surprised to find my painting process upended by this onrush of change\, and I took a breath and stopped working while I figured out how to begin again. These paintings are some of the art I have made as I slowly regained my path as a painter. They are art of the space all around me\, my new studio\, my new landscape\, and my new life. \nI paint in oil directly from life\, often outdoors\, editing the many details into a simpler and more powerful whole. Although the work can vary from direct perceptual painting to a more markedly abstracted approach\, the idea of something observed and distilled is always there.The subject is often the light\, the geometry in boulders and trees\, the language of color\, movement\, or people and our interaction with the world. I use oil paints for most of my paintings. Oil allows for more editing\, layering\, and altering as I rework a painting. I search for clarity by simplifying the subject to communicate through the language of paint. I have been influenced and aided by so many artists past and present. The art of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd continues to resonate for me\, among many others.” \nBiography \nMid Coast Maine painter Janet Ledoux makes oil paintings that capture the changing light and weather\, and the people in the landscape. Her work is noted for strong design and inventive color. A juried member of the historic Ogunquit Art Association\, Janet is widely collected. \nJanet was raised in Hartland\, CT and graduated from the Paier College of Art in New Haven\, CT in 1980. After completing a 20-year career as an award winning Illustrator and Art Director\, she began painting and exhibiting full time in 2000. Residency awards include the National Park Service and the Vermont Studio Center. \nLEARN MORE: janetledoux.com \nAbout Anne Strout – Painter“I have done art in one form or another since I was little. I had a career in nursing and raised five kids\, extended family\, and did artwork on the side to keep me grounded. For years I have taken art courses and gone on art retreats and art vacations. I love color and my paintings usually have a narrative element to them\, celebrating life with an emphasis on reinvention and rejuvenation. \nThe Title of my show is called Rejuvenation. The theme is portraying things we do to make us happy\, as simple as having coffee in the morning\, planning a garden\, or having an adventure. I love mixed media\, and paint in watercolor and acrylics\, but generally these days I am painting with wax; hot or cold! Encaustic painting\, hot wax\,involves a heat gun (or torch)\, a heated palette\, and pigmented wax. You can do this on several different substrates; paper\, wood panel\, or canvas. I usually use wood panels for my encaustic paintings. You may also embed objects\,create texture\, and employ mixed media\, image transfer\, and stencils. Cold wax is a process of mixing “cold wax” which is beeswax (if using Gamblin’s) and damar resin\, a substance that looks like lard\, with oil paints. When mixed\, the paint becomes very thick. It is not put on the canvas with brushes\, but palette knives\, brayers\, or squeegees. I work with thin layers. The substrate may be canvas\, wooden panel\, or paper. Again\, you may embed collage elements\, graphite\, oil sticks or pastels\, or pigmented alcohol to the cold wax painting.” \nArtist Statement: Anne Strout. \nMuch of my work speaks to the obstacles and adversities we all face in our daily human struggles. The emphasis is on reinvention and optimism. Encaustic and mixed media help me with these narratives\, as I employ multiple layers\, colors\, and often embedded objects to metaphorically address the past\, and the hope of the future. \nLEARN MORE: annestrout.com \nBarn Gallery 2023: Exhibitions\, Gallery Talks\, Workshops\, Demos\, Auction\, More…Learn more about the Barn Gallery 2023 Schedule: barngallery.org/2023-season \nLEARN MOREConnect With #BarnGallery  on Instagram\n\n	\n	\n		\n	\n		\n			You're invited to the Opening Reception at Barn Ga\n									\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit\, Maine on Thur\n									\n		\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n			\n			\n				\n                    \n                				Follow on Instagram

Body language is a very important part of achieving a likeness. Therefore\, I do not pose my models. I talk with them after they seat themselves. The more we talk the more comfortable they tend to become in the chair and in my company. I watch them move about in the chair until I am struck with a composition. Left to position them selves with no more direction than sitting or standing\, the subject will take a pose that is characteristic of them. \nOnce we have a pose which suits both their comfort and my inspiration I begin to choose back ground colors and set the lights. Selecting the right size and proportioned canvas is next. I begin drawing in charcoal on the canvas. Correcting the anatomy and placement continuously. Developing the drawing can take up to an hour or more. \nWhen satisfied I spray with fixative and begin painting. I first analyze the subject’s flesh-tones and decide on the colors I will use. I lay in my large dark shadow shapes first\, beginning with the eyes and then working all over the face and down through the body. Constantly painting the colors and values I identify. Then I paint in the local colors\, or mid tone shapes. Lastly I paint in the lights. I strive to cover the entire canvas with paint as soon as possible. Since I work on a white canvas it is important to establish and overstate my values in the first stages. \nNow I have my “knock in” which I will then devote hours to repainting until I am satisfied with the finish. The face can take me from six hours to infinity. Sometimes new starts are needed. \nPortraiture is one of the more difficult expressions of painting. It demands a command of the anatomy\, color\, and composition. The success of portrait painting is to first and foremost commit myself to the art of making a good painting. A well-composed interesting painting conveying an inspired moment. A downward glance. A woman in a red hat. A woman defiantly smoking a cigarette. \nI do not work from photos. The interaction between myself and the model is of paramount importance. The animation of my subject which occurs during our relaxed sessions is what helps me to understand the structure of their face and body movements. It enables me to achieve the personality of the subject. Secondly\, the camera does not provide enough of the spacial depth (in terms of subtle but necessary transitions of temperature and intensity of color) needed to recede or project the form in space. Since my approach to all work is that of the impressionist school\, working from life is essential with still life and plein air painting\, as well as portraiture. \nMy approach to laying in a portrait is also the progression of steps I use in all my work. I first decide what my most striking impression is of my subject. The light. The palette. The scale. The emotional response to a moment in time that will never occur again. \nCLICK HERE TO READ AN INTERVIEW WITH PAMELA DULONG WILLIAMS \nLEARN MORE: pameladulongwilliams.com \nAbout Russel Whitten (painter)ARTIST BIO: Russel WhittenRussel Whitten studied art at Maine College of Art\, Heartwood College of Art and the Art Students League of New York.
