Crawford Notch oil demonstration (6x8") by Todd Bonita $450
CRAWFORD NOTCH
I am honored to have been part of the Artist in Residence program at the Appalaichan Mountain Club at the Crawford Notch Highland Center in the New Hampshire White Mointains for the past several years. This program, which was started by my good friend and fellow painter, Christopher Volpe, included a team taught workshop with myself and fellow artist and friend, Alastair Dacey. This week would have been our fifth annual, however, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the program will not run this year.
In the spirit of good will, Alastair has championed a gesture to keep our annual tradition alive.
Now through October 11th we’re offering our oil studies, demos and oil sketches from our time at Crawford Notch at reduced, unframed prices, and giving the AMC Highland Center 15% of the proceeds.
Visit the links below to see our paintings and consider supporting the arts and the AMC by adding a piece of original art to your collection. Purchase directly from our sites and we’ll get your painting in the mail to you asap. CHRISTOPHER VOLPE ALASTAIR DACEY

NEW ART STUDIO!
871 Islington Street (studio #A100). Portsmouth, NH
After exactly ten years in studio #224 at the Button Factory Artist studios, I will be moving to a new art space...Its only one flight down from my old studio. I'll be on the first floor of the Button Factory but with a new address entirely. This is my new studio mate and co-owner of the space, Artist and Architect, Frank Hyer. We just signed the papers this afternoon and made it official with a dram of single malt scotch. We will likely host visitors as part of the Button Factory annual open studio event the first Saturday in December...but if we can pull it together, it would be fun to have a studio opening party...check back.
