09/24/2015 12:00 AMSusan Powell Fine Art will present Poetic Landscapes by Dennis Sheehan and Curtis Hanson from Friday, Oct. 2 to Saturday, Oct. 31. All are invited to an opening reception to meet the artists on Friday, Oct. 2, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Inspired by memories of New England, Sheehan’s oils are painted primarily from his imagination and capture the serenity and beauty of his natural surroundings, said Powell, the owner of the gallery.
“Hanson’s meditative paintings reflect the quiet in landscapes and are observed directly from nature. In the works of both of these renowned artists, atmosphere is paramount as their paintings are felt as much as seen,” she said.
Sheehan and Hanson were trained in the Academic Boston School realist tradition and paint with impressionistic, immediate brushwork. Both share a love of nature and revere the 19th century American Tonalist painter George Inness and the French Barbizon painters, Powell said. The works of Sheehan and Hanson are in numerous collections worldwide and both artists have painted for more than three decades. Sheehan is in the White House collection.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays and anytime by appointment. For more information, call 203-318-0616, visit www.susanpowellfineart.com, or email susanpowellfineart@gmail.com.
