NEW TRAVELER'S SKETCHBOOK EXHIBITION IN EVANSTON, ILLINOIS

Everyone is invited to my new TRAVELER'S SKETCHBOOK exhibition. There will be some overlap with the Traveler's Sketchbook show I did two years ago at Beverly Art Center, but this one will feature two big Venetian studio paintings and new images from Scotland, England, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois and Indiana that weren't in that earlier exhibition.  

ON THE WATERFRONT IN OBAN, SCOTLAND

Oban, Scotland Waterfront, 14 x 10 inch ink and watercolor by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

Oban is a port city on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands facing the Isle of Mull.  It has a square harbor lined with old buildings including this elegant hotel constructed (according to a terra-cotta relief on its facade) in 1902.  The tide was out when I made this drawing and the blue-hulled salvage boat was resting on the harbor floor with its stern almost out of the water.  On a pier to the left of the hotel are two modern restaurants, one Scottish and one Italian, both featuring super-fresh seafood.  I ate at both of them more than once.  On the other side of the harbor, behind the ferry terminal, is a take-away shop where you can get hot local seafood for a fraction of restaurant prices if you don't mind eating standing up outdoors.  A platter of mussels boiled in wine broth was a little over $5 US (3.95 British pounds).

This is one of the new paintings that will be featured in my exhibition TRAVELER'S SKETCHBOOK: Paintings and Graphics by George C. Clark at the Three Crowns Park Gallery in Evanston in November.  I will post the formal announcement with full details here soon.

SAVE THE DATE: There will be an artist's reception on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 2, from 4-6pm.

NEWFOUND GAP IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 11 x 14.5 inch ink and watercolor by George C. Clark    AVAILABLE

I drew this on-site in Tennessee last year.  It is one of the never-before exhibited pieces that will be in my upcoming Traveler's Sketchbook exhibition in November in Evanston.  There will be some overlap with the Traveler's Sketchbook show I did at Beverly Art Center in 2015 but there will also be a couple of large studio paintings of Venice and new watercolors and graphics from Scotland, Virginia, Tennessee, Nevada, Indiana and Illinois that weren't in that earlier exhibition.

I will post an announcement for the show with full details here soon.

Save the date:  the artist's reception will be Thursday, November 2, from 4 to 6pm.
