Keeler's demo painting for a plein air class of the Phelps Mansion in Binghamton, NY
A heads up on my new show, a small group of paintings at the beautiful Phelps Mansion Museum in the heart of downtown Binghamton, NY. The exhibit opens on July 11 and continues through Friday August 28th and concludes with a closing reception from 6 to 8. Please join me then to see this exhibit which will be held in the museum's ballroom.
The Phelps Museum is at 191 Court Street in downtown Binghamton, NY. For infor call Chelsea GIbson the director at 607-722-4873 or director@phelpsmansion.org
The show is titled "Mansard Motifs and Susquehanna Sequels" as it features my depictions of historic architecture in the region, often with those distinctive French roof lines and cupolas. The exhibit includes some paintings of the Susquehanna River- a couple from the headwaters at Cooperstown, NY and others along the river's beautiful course with views at Owego and Wyalusing, PA.
Portrait demo- Keeler will present a portrait demo at the Phelps on First Friday, August 7 where he will paint a portrait in oil from a model. The demo starts at 6:10 in the front room of the museum underneath the painting of Mr. Phelps. The demo is free but seating is limited.
Keeler recently conducted a plein air workshop where we painted from the parking lot while gazing up at the beautiful facade. Check out the video recap of that session here. The finished painting is also shown below.
