Logan_Hagege_Drying_the_Net_18x24_4200 — Drying the Net by Logan Hagege/Image: EgeliGallery.com

Logan Hagege is an artist with a style all his own. Each piece truly is a work of art. I love the way he captures scenes, the colors, the light, the shadows… whoa! Most of the work I’m familiar with is Southwestern. FABULOUS colors, intriguing subjects. This is a bit different, “Drying the Net” is at the Egeli Gallery located in Provincetown, MA. If you’re in the area check it out… otherwise check out their website! Logan was one of the uber talented artists that was in a cottage down from ours in Port Clyde, Maine several years ago. We were invited to the cottage the last night and the paintings that we saw were AMAZING! Every one of those guys painted their hearts out and it showed. Being art lovers we were in HEAVEN! If you’re interested in reading a bit about their Paintapalooza trip, Addison Art Gallery has a great little write up… click HERE to read…

Another favorite of mine is a portrait Logan did of fellow artist Jerome Greene. I believe he captured him perfectly and I LOVE how he left the edges unpainted… Check out Logan’s website for gallery information and to see his paintings!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Tim Bell Monhegan Evening 031811 — Image: BellArtStudio.com

Yeah, I know… Awesome, isn’t it? Fred and I first met Tim on Monhegan Island, ME in 2006. When we first ran into him he was set up in front of the Island Inn. Gutsy! Then I watched him paint… wow. I told him that I was just starting to paint and he gave me tips and explained what he was doing and gave me many many book titles to read. I had so much information, I scribbled my notes inside the pages of Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting by John F. Carlson that I had run to the Lupine Gallery to buy! This painting, Monhegan Evening was from that trip. The sun was setting, and Tim was sitting on a big rock, talking and painting away… WHOA!

Congratulations to Tim, he appears in PLEIN AIR magazine, Spring 2011 – It’s on the stands NOW… Barnes & Noble, etc. etc. I’m going to run out and get one this weekend!

Tim has remained a great friend, we have several of his paintings, and they all mean a lot to us. If you get a chance, check out Tim’s work, he has a website, www.bellartstudio.com and is also in galleries, (some include: Walls Gallery, South Street Art Gallery, Egeli Gallery ). Here is a blip from the McBride Gallery website about Tim:

Tim Bell is a painter in the American Impressionist tradition. His work reflects the influences of painters such as John Twachtman, Charles Hawthorne, Hovsep Pushman and Henry Hensche.

A graduate of Frostburg State University, Tim conducted his post-Graduate studies at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis, Maryland and the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusettes.
