Join oil painter Linda McDermott for a wonderful afternoon exploring the art of painting animals. Whether you are drawn to farm animals, beloved pets, or wildlife, this four-hour studio session invites you to capture the personality and soul of your animal subject through paint.

Linda is an oil painter based in New Hampshire and Rhode Island who has studied with local and nationally recognized artists, as well as through RISD Continuing Education. She has a deep love for animals and brings that connection into every painting she creates, hoping to raise awareness of animal welfare by bringing her subjects to life on canvas.

This class is suitable for painters of all levels. Come ready to observe, explore, and enjoy a relaxed and creative atmosphere.

Opening reception for Long Exposure
Jan

Opening reception for Long Exposure

Join us in the gallery for the opening reception of Long Exposure. This exhibit brings together photographs by Babs Perkins and paintings by Anni Lorenzini that approach landscape as an ongoing process. Rather than depicting specific locations, the works focus on change, duration, and perception. The works shift attention from description to experience, inviting sustained looking.

From 5-7 pm, enjoy refreshments, meet the artists, and connect with the WREN community.

Together, the works in Long Exposure create an environment where photography and painting inform and expand one another. Through the alchemy of collaboration, the exhibition softens distinctions between mediums and challenges expectations of how landscapes are represented.

All are welcome at this free event!
