Kevin Beers Exhibit at Gleason Fine Art: On My Own

Lobster Boats Off Monhegan by Kevin Beers | 36″ x 36″ | Oil on Canvas

We haven’t been to Maine in a number of years, but my husband and I visited for many years. Made some great friends who we would meet on the island each year. Kevin was one of those friends, he was always on the island painting away. You might know him as the artist that carried large canvases and set his easel up at the same time each day to capture everything he needed to complete his masterpiece. Monhegan Island is a special place with special people.

Many of you know about Monhegan, Maine (if you haven’t already been there!) – Popular among artists and birdwatchers (among others!) – We usually bought a painting somewhere and have a room full of Maine paintings. Each so special, each tells a story. This painting above

About the Artist (via the Gleason Fine Art website):

When Kevin Beers was in art school, abstraction was all the rage, and although Beers was clearly in possession of great talent, his professors constantly tried to dissuade him from representational painting. Instead, listening to his own muse, Beers was drawn to the powerful realism of Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent, and George Bellows, all of whom had fallen in love with the coast of Maine, especially Monhegan Island.
