Oil Painting

	Emily Boosahda “My oil painting, especially the Maine landscapes, tries to get at the “essence” –instead of just another pretty scene. Some images are so familiar to us- the rocks, the fields, the boats, that we don’t really see them anymore. Through my painting, I try to show the viewer the layers of existence that are all around us... ”
	Beverlee Corriveau “I’ve always had creative interests, but painting is a fairly new passion for me. I started a few years ago by doing decorative painting.

	Daniel Roy “Daniel's technique involves layering pigment through application of glazes which helps him achieve the desired effect of depth and color. The Blue Sheep series has been quite popular and sold out at the last show in Connecticut...."
	Blanche Serban “My best known works are abstract cityscapes painted in primary colors, using principles of non-Euclidian geometry. The source of inspiration is science - multiple space-time dimensions, matrix theory, multivariate statistics, psychology... Recurring themes are time and timelessness, personal perception and personal space, the peripatetic history of individual and collectivity. The paintings tell stories, impregnated with lyrical undertones and ironical self-references...."
