Geary Gallery
Welcome to the August issue of the Geary Gallery Guide. 
This month, by popular demand, we are extending the "New England Coastlines" exhibit featuring the plein air coastal and maritime artwork of New England painter, Stephen Knight. We hope you take a break from the heat and pop in to see this one-of-a-kind exhibit, but if you can't make it in person, enjoy taking a virtual tour of his work on our website.

Plus, in this issue, please take a moment to see the new additions to the gallery and view pieces from Sue Barrasi, Lorainne Ryan, Nick Savides and Chet Saur.

Summer is a time for special occasions and quality time with the family. Commemorate these memories in a unique way with custom framing by Accent Picture Framing & Restoration. We will create a lasting frame to preserve your summer memories for years to come.

Please note that we will be closed from August 9 - 17 and will reopen on August 18.

Enjoy the rest of summer!

Featured Artist, August
Stephen Knight

Stephen Knight was born and educated in London, England and has lived in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France, and now the U.S., where he has been a citizen since May 2004.

A resident of Centerville, Cape Cod, Knight paints scenes of coastal and maritime New England year-round, and has studied with master artists Joseph McGurl, Donald Demers and T. Allen Lawson.

After living and painting in five different countries, Knight is now inspired by the scenery of coastal and maritime New England, and particularly Cape Cod, which is his home.

Knight prefers to paint outdoors (en plein air). "I need to be at one with my scene to capture on canvas the immediacy of time and place," he explains. "My paintings are constantly evolving expressions of how I feel about my surroundings and I am fascinated by the effects of light and its role in revealing mood and atmosphere -- the solitude of lake, marsh and estuary; the sweep of sea and sky."

Don't Put off Getting a Treasured Oil Painting Restored
If you have an oil painting that's been in the family for generations, chances are it could use a cleaning and some repair. Chimney and old cigarette smoke can leave a painting yellowed and dingy and over time dry air can cause cracks in the canvas. Bring it to Accent Picture Framing & Restoration and we'll bring it back to its original beauty. Our work is renowned, and projects hang in leading galleries, museums, historical societies and private residences throughout Fairfield County. Click here to learn more.
