Fall Reflections at Aldemere Farm

Description

The Aldemere Farm is a special place on the Maine Midcoast. Part of the farm conservancy, it specializes in Belted Galloway cattle. In the fall the farm moves towards the sleepy time of the year and the roads and fields start to change colors. This is a view of the dirt road that meanders the farm in Rockport. I was intrigued by the colors, the light, the defused shadows cutting diagonally across the foreground and the reflections from the background in the puddles. It presented multiple problems in rendering all the aspects of the day.

About the Artist

David Miller Studio
An artist for all of my life, my primary career was as an international educator. My wife and I were fortunate to live in several different countries around the world in our thirty years abroad and traveled to many, many more. In each of our countries of residence, we mounted gallery shows to sell the work produced from my easel. The works were inspired by the countryside of England, France, Italy, Austria and other countries, the city squares of Europe, where the marketplaces tucked in unique places offered wonderful subjects, or a simple drive in the countryside delivered other opportunities. Now our retirement on the Midcoast of Maine has refocused many of the paintings to rural New England and the nautical life on the Penobscot Bay. The body of work includes still life paintings, cityscapes, landscapes, nautical subjects, and many unique compositions like the Koi found in the National Palace Museum ponds of Taipei. Many paintings have been printed as Giclee works that are available for purchase. The quality of the prints is archive status, and they are offered in a signed limited edition.

My work is either in oil or watercolor and each demonstrates my love of light reflecting off a surface or diffused through shadows. Both manmade and natural settings catch my eye, with our recent retirement to the Mid Coast of Maine allowing me to indulge my love of windjammers and other life on the Penobscot Bay, as well as the beauty found within a short drive from our town. The four seasons offer a completely different view of the same subjects, considering all that transpires between these times of the year; color, foliage, temperature and intensity of light.

About the Artist

Mary Helmreich California Watercolors
Her Specialty: Paintings on Commission. Over the last thirty years she's done hundreds: Of houses, cars, boats, pets & people, etc. Also favorite views & personal subjects.

Mary Helmreich was born in 1945 near Boston, Massachusetts.
Her talent was recognized early, when at age nine she won a prize for portraiture, competing against high school students.
At twelve she attended a summer art program at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. In the eleventh grade she studied under Sidney Hurwitz at the De Cordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and at the Cummington School of the Arts in the Berkshires.
At Bard College New York from 1963-1964 she majored in Sculpture taught by Harvey Fite and Fine Art by Anton Refregier. She continued her studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston from 1964-1965 under the tutelage of Robert Grady and Andreas Feininger.
Toward the end of 1965 she traveled to London and Paris, where she met Gisbert Helmreich at a youth hostel in Place Pigalle. Together they hitchhiked through Europe, North Africa and East Africa. They were married in October 1966 in Burlington, Vermont.
Their son Stefan Helmreich and his wife Heather Paxson are both anthropologists at MIT.
From 1966 until the summer of 1981 they made their home in Boston, with a short sojourn to Vienna in 1968.
For many years Mary concentrated on the human form, drawing from life, first with a Boston group and then with the Winchester Studio Guild, assisted by professor emeritus King Coffin.
In 1969 her husband opened the Boston Chess Studio on Newbury Street, which became a focal point for the chess community during the Bobby Fischer era. Newbury Street, being the center of the New England art scene, inspired Mary to display her pencil drawings, acrylics and watercolor paintings.
After an exploratory cross-country trip in 1981, she and her family decided to move to San Diego, where they established residence in the community of Olivenhain in Encinitas. By that time watercolor had become her favorite medium.
She has been a member of several art organizations and has entered juried art shows receiving many awards & prizes.
Mary now paints cityscapes, landscapes, historical buildings and more intimate views of the area. All her paintings, including commissions, are carried out in the representational manner, using archival materials.

About the Artist

Rob Carey Art
I am originally from Long Beach, California and enjoy sketching with watercolor. My love of sketching was re-awakened while living in Germany for 15 years, so much of my artwork reflects European sights and places where I have traveled.

I currently work in higher education, specifically professional development for teachers. On the side, I offer several online courses developed for teachers through Fresno Pacific University. To see my courses, just go to ce.fresno.edu/instructors/rob-carey/

I prefer my painting to be a development of ideas rather than static images and often use different styles to achieve this. The life that goes on around me, the places I’ve been, or the times I’ve lived through are reflected in my paintings, and my work has always helped me refine self awareness, and provided an outlet for expression
