Catskill Farms Painting Exhibit at Art Up

MARGARETVILLE — The East Branch Delaware River Plein Air Painters’ (EBDRPAP} second annual show, Catskill Farms, will take place at Art Up Gallery in Margaretville, with an opening reception on Friday, August 29th 4-7pm. The show which includes the work of 14 plein air painters, will run through September 22nd.

Members of EBDRPAP meet every Tuesday at different sites throughout the area to paint and then share their work during the late spring through early fall. During the winter months the painters meet by Zoom. This season’s show focuses on painting done at two Delaware County farms. For three weeks in June, the group met at Moseman’s Farm on Street Hill Road in Fleischmanns and in July they met for three successive weeks at Mighty Fine Farm on Little Red Kill Road also in Fleischmanns. The paintings, a celebration of Catskill farms, capture the beauty of the surrounding mountains, grazing fields, farmhouses and barns typical of Delaware County farms.

The show features 23 works, in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pen and ink and pastel, by EBDRPAP artists Tabitha Gilmore Barnes, Chrstopher Criswell, Kathleen Green, Irina Grinevitskaya, Oneida Hamilton, Ann E, Hoffman, Margaret Leveson, Myrna Lobel, Patrice Lorenz, Sheila McManus, Deb Ruggierio, Sarah Stone, Marcus Simpson and Michelle Sidrane.

Art Up Gallery is open Friday-Sunday 12-4pm.
